Automated Dieline Creation: Is there a way to generate outer dimensions from inner dimensions in Illustrator?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently interning at a packaging company, specifically working with corrugated boxes (A1 style). My daily workflow involves creating dielines in Adobe Illustrator.
Most of the time, customers provide only the inner dimensions, and I have to manually calculate the outer dimensions based on our company's formula (accounting for board thickness/tolerances) and then draw each panel manually.
Is there a faster way or a script where I can just input the inner dimensions (L, W, D), apply the formula, and have the dieline generated automatically?
