ReAction

ReAction is an important new feature that makes editing of designs much simpler and faster. For example, if you have a design with text, outlines, shadows and colours assigned, you can change any of the elements and the change is automatically reflected in all of the functions.

1. Change text & Font effortlessly

2. All functions such as outlines, colours and highlights are adjusted automatically

3. Dropshadows are adjusted when the font or text changes

Even graphical edits such as moving and sizing designs is easier and faster. Plus you can add value to designs very quickly and easily with the new soft shadow, perspective shadow, medial axis, and pre-made design templates.

Designing just became even more fun!

Barcode printing

OMEGA 3.0 includes features that make label and decal production faster and easier, including barcoding capabilities with variable date, easier finishing features, and the ability to re-use output parameters.

Backwards Compatible

Save files to be compatible with previous versions. Gerber OMEGA 3.0 is backwards compatible but users are strongly encouraged to upgrade all their systems at the same time to allow for more seamless network functionality.

Dimensioning tools

Perfect customer proofs and layout instructions by generating on-screen measurements and annotations with the Dimensioning Tools feature.

Dimensioning Tools allow you to measure objects, distances, and angles and post these measurements in the job. A main dimension toolbar contains the six new tools: horizontal, vertical, aligned, angular, annotation, and object dimensions.

And for extra flexibility, you can choose to paper print or output the dimensions to a GSP output device such as the GERBER EDGE FX™.
