We are excited to announce the launch of Release 15 of the Crea Solution software suite, an upgrade that marks a further step forward in our ongoing commitment to delivering digital solutions that are more powerful, intuitive, and aligned with the real needs of fashion and furniture companies.
This release introduces new features designed to significantly enhance productivity, increase precision, and streamline every stage of the workflow.
In the “Open Multiple Fan” command, you can now enter the total opening value directly, without manual calculations.
A new command that allows you to modify the pattern by rotating the size grading path. Greater creative freedom with instant, visual results. (Feature available in Creafit)
A new command that generates a flounce by simply entering seam length, hem width, and height. Immediate piece generation with perfect proportions.
The system automatically recognizes the piece being measured and adapts the measurement logic without manual intervention.
If the table becomes very long, it now scrolls without overwhelming the screen.
The system now allows selecting a long path even if it contains size grading points: they remain fixed while distribution is calculated intelligently around them.
When drawing a line or moving pieces/points, the CTRL key locks movement horizontally or vertically. Micro detail, macro precision.
Right-click now shows an unlimited list of recently used commands (previously limited to 5). Fully configurable to maximize workflow efficiency.
You can now set specific fixed points before applying size grading
Instant comparison between the current measurement and the base size.
Option to display breaks in the measurement scale, defining from which size the size grading changes.
Reports can now include more than one measurement table.
You can configure the system to automatically apply base size name and color whenever a new model is created.
A new tool that creates a piece from a parallel line, automatically copying the grainline from the original piece. No manual setup, guaranteed consistency, immediate productivity.
For Survey users, scanned images can now be accessed and downloaded directly from the database. No uploads or external steps.
Piece descriptions are now selectable from preconfigured lists.
You can now draw curved arrows, define a margin/offset, and generate arrows positioned at a precise distance from an edge or line.
You can now center grading on multiple selected points at the same time. Previously, this had to be done piece by piece. Now: multi-selection, one command.
New Feature: Precise dart managementThe new “Open Dart from Dart” command allows setting an exact rotation value. No more all-or-nothing rotations — maximum precision and symmetry.
The entire Cliché suite evolves to make piece nesting not only faster, but also more autonomous, editable in real time, and capable of preventing errors before they even occur.
A completely redesigned interface for creating nesting queues for users of the Survey module. The workflow is now immediate, intuitive, and much faster than before.
The system recognizes pieces directly from the drawing and starts nesting autonomously, even without any Survey-generated files. No mandatory steps, maximum operational freedom.
No need to prepare them in IRIS anymore: match points can now be added directly in Cliché, with far greater immediacy and precision.
The new preview shows relationships between match points, allowing errors to be identified and corrected before nesting. Preventive control, zero wasted attempts.
Manual nesting has been rewritten to be smarter, faster, and more optimized in positioning suggestions. Less manual intervention, higher efficiency.
A dedicated command now automatically reduces the size of all adhesive-designated groups. A mass operation completed in a single action.
Rough-cut creation is now more efficient, with better-optimized shapes and significantly reduced processing time.
PDF handling has been improved in speed, compatibility, and graphic interpretation.
The new release introduces a dashboard where the user can independently choose whether to place model parts in the selvedge center or in lateral zones.
It is now possible to edit the queue even while cutting is in progress. More control, zero operational interruptions.
An updated interface offering better clarity, readability, and usability. More modern, more functional, more intuitive.
Speed, automation, and active intelligence in fabric reading.
Filters have been optimized for instant search. You can now copy and paste filters between different profiles and save preset filter sets for immediate use.
The closing phase of a fabric scan is now significantly faster, reducing processing time.
Fabric movement is no longer estimated only from the left edge but calculated using a weighted average from the fabric’s center. The result is more realistic and balanced deformation.
You can now enforce perfect consistency between opposite sides, eliminating differences between left and right pieces.
A new command that automatically identifies the optimal starting point. Points with excessive variance are excluded, and the actual step is recalculated automatically.
No need to manually enter fabric height: the system reads and interprets it directly.
The system remembers which lighting configuration is best for each fabric type and automatically suggests the ideal setup.
You can now define an off-center anchor point within the selection rectangle, improving accuracy on non-uniform fabrics.
It is now possible to rotate the parametrization of an existing panel without rebuilding it from scratch. Total operational speed and flexibility.
Take advantage from the integration with Tex Design, Adobe Illustrator, Coral Draw and many others…
Take advantage from the PLM Crea integration with over 12 sketching software for clothing and manage the entire collection design directly from the PLM. In this way the communication between the design department and the pattern making department will be improved in a very sensitive way. Crea Image Server offers a complete and automatic way to modify file formats so that your sketches or images can be available to all the players in the supply chain involved. By accessing a central archive of colors, designers are given the opportunity to develop ‘pallets’ of reusable seasonal colors for fabrics, garments, accessories and other elements. The same can be done with the textures, the accessibility and modifiability of colors and textures in their respective folders allows the company to easily create variations on the fabrics of the garments and to modify, even in the most advanced stages of the product, and with a few clicks, an entire theme of the collection if not even an entire production line by adding or removing from the collections one or more colors, one or more styles.
All patterns data in your tablet, prototypes approval with a click
Draw in the CAD Create environment while remaining directly connected with the PLM. Build the patterns database, fabrics master data, multiple size charts for intermediate and qualitative product controls thanks to complete integration with pattern making CAD, displaying the patterns created directly by the PLM.
It is also possible to approve or modify the patterns thanks to the virtual fitting with 3D CAD, moreover you can capture the images of the products during the fitting and make an immediate request for fitting in just a few clicks.
Forecast the sales with real-time data
The Crea Solution Merchandising Plan analyzes and makes comparisons of sales data from previous years (divided by season, product, geographical area, collection, department, line and many other personalized criteria) to align the strategy with performance objectives and estimate sales in extremely realistic way.
Once the strategic objectives have been defined, the PLM Merchandising Plan Crea Solution will separate these objectives for different clusters for a more organic planning that also includes financial and image objectives.
Once the Crea Solution Merchandising Plan is set up, it will simulate sales based on real and continuously updated real-time data.
Analyze and track all product samples
Through the Crea Solution PLM dashboard it is possible to track the progress of prototypes and samples through the perfect synchronization of all the info. This allows effective communication with every single company department.
Simulate costs, carry out consumption calculation forecasts and get the Target Price
The definition of costs is important from the beginning in the product development process. Thanks to the amount of data that the PLM Crea Solution manages, it is possible to automatically estimate the cost of a pattern during its development so that pattern makers know beforehand the economic effort that a certain item or line will entail and eventually operate in order to hit the ‘target price’.
The Crea Solution pricing platform integrated in the PLM is able to automatically generate constantly updated price lists with currencies from around the world and based on various infinite criteria such as lines, models, geographical area, area code, color variant …
Every company has different needs and for this reason Crea Solution is able to customize the pricing platforms based on all the criteria that are necessary for the customer to determine prices.
Check the quality of production all over the world, observing ratings and ranking of suppliers
The Crea Solution PLM simplifies the quality management procedures, gives ratings and ranking of all suppliers to guarantee constant quality and safety levels, assigning objectives relating to these parameters from the phase of receipt of raw materials to production.
Plan the collections, create always updated catalogs that are, for the entire sales network and merchandising
Market-oriented planning and objectives, this is the goal of PLM Crea Solution, integrating together the design, merchandising and marketing functions.
Creating online catalogs that are always up to date throughout the sales network, available on smartphones and tablets, has never been so simple.
Creating assortments ensuring a harmonious image of the products presented
