Draw measurements
As you know, communicating the most accurate size chart is essential to avoid any misunderstanding regarding the dimensions of your product. That's why Rechain PLM allows you to easily associate a photo/sketch with each point of measurement on your size chart. Read this article to learn how to add a picture to a point of measure.
Creating precise illustrations to explain how to measure each dimension can be quite time-consuming using external tools such as Illustrator or PowerPoint. That's why Rechain PLM introduces the "Draw Measurement" feature, allowing you to draw dimensions on a photo or illustration of your product directly from Rechain PLM and associate it with the measurement point on your size chart with just one click.
To access this feature, go to the "Dimensions" tab of the product and click on "Draw Measurements".
On this page, to save you time, you will find (1) the illustrations you previously added in the "Sketches" tab of this product.
If you wish to use other files to draw the measurement points, click on (2) "Upload Sketch" to select a file from your file explorer.
Now that you have the sketches you need to trace the dimensions, let's look at the column on the right side of the screen (3).
This section is the list of all measurement points present in the size chart of the product. The measurement points are grouped into 2 categories: "unannotated" and "annotated."
Let's draw the first measurement point: click on the "Annotate" button of the measurement point you want to trace, then draw the dimension using your mouse on the sketch.
This drawing is now associated with this measurement point and can be easily shared to your colleagues or suppliers: it is available in the Excel and PDF exports of the tech pack for this product.
You can also mark rounded measuring points. By clicking on the number at the center of the trace, you can adjust it to the curve's rounding of the trace.
