Software for Creating Team Uniforms with Heat Transfer Vinyl

If you haven’t heard about it yet, there is a new online design software out on the market called Cadworx Live.  The designer portion of Cadworx Live was launched about 1 year ago and now they have just launched a new application- The Cad-Cut Easy Teams Designer.  I had a chance to go in and experiment with this portion of Cadworx yesterday and this morning and all I can say is WOW!  I was so impressed, I had to do a write up and a quick video.

First, let me review why I am so impressed and think this application is going to make spring sports so much easier for you:

• You have the ability to create player name and number combos, just player names,  just numbers or a team name list by typing or pasting a comma separated list into the application.  After created, the application automatically generates your cut file.
• After your file(s) is created you can apply styles to the design or even edit the style.  Basically this means you can create multiple colors with the click of the button and choose gap spacing between colors, you can also add a shadow, arc the name, add bookends, create a split front etc. etc.
• After the styles are applied you can change other options such as the gap space between the name and  the number or size the design to fit certain parameters or with the chekc of a box put the name under the number instead of the tradition way.
• Now onto the Output function – you can do a few cool things here.  First, you can preview the file or export it as a jpeg preview with your own custom watermark for emailing as a proof to a customer.  Next you can simply save the job into your cadworx files so it will be available the next time you log in.  If you are ready to cut the design you have a few options – export it to a plt file and save it to your computer, so that you can import it into your cutters driver.  Or (my preference), export it to the included Cadworx VectorCut program.  Once it’s in vector cut you can mirror the design, space it on your page, output it by color or complete a variety of other functions. 

It’s all pretty simple.  This designer allows the beginner a way to start creating names and numbers and also allows veterans a more efficient, time saving way. 

It’s so simple, I spent 5 minutes and did a little video demo (sorry no audio included and not the best quality):

The Cadworx site also has a members forum where you can post questions and hold discussions.
