Standard Information
Configure the display name, category, units, editor source product, markup, and markdown values for a Print CAD standard.
The Standard Information tab is the first tab in the edit form and contains the core settings that define how a parametric standard is identified, categorized, and linked to other parts of the platform. These settings control the measurement system, editor integration, and pricing adjustments applied to the standard.
Access Standard Information
- From the Custom Libraries list, click Edit on any standard (or open the overflow menu and select Edit).
- The edit form opens on the Standard Info tab by default.
Fields
The form is arranged in a two-column layout.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Name | The name shown in the admin list and used when associating this standard with products. The Save button is disabled until a display name is entered. |
| Units | Measurement system for all parameter values, dimensions, and size calculations. Options: Inches, Millimeters, or Centimeters. This setting affects how values are interpreted throughout the parametric system — the storefront and API perform unit conversion as needed. |
| Categories | Product category assignment. When a category has parametric standards, the storefront automatically injects the 3D parametric widget on that category page. Select "None" to leave unassigned. |
| Print Editor | Editor source product dropdown. Links this standard to a specific product in the Print Editor, which determines the canvas template and editable zones used when customers design on this packaging. The dropdown lists all products in the current storefront. |
| Inside Markup Value | Numeric markup applied to the inside surface pricing. This value adjusts the calculated price for the inside panels of the packaging. |
| Blank Markdown Value | Numeric markdown applied to the blank (flat sheet) pricing calculation. This value adjusts the base blank size cost before other pricing factors are applied. |
Associations
Print Store
| Area | Effect |
|---|---|
| Category widget | The Categories assignment determines which storefront category pages display the 3D parametric widget. The widget is injected automatically when ParametricConfigurations exist for a given CategoryId. |
| Unit conversion | The Units setting is read by the storefront's ParametricHelper and the Enterprise API to convert parameter values between measurement systems. The storefront calculator and API responses perform conversions based on this value. |
| Blank pricing | The Blank Markdown Value feeds into the pricing calculator's blank size computation, adjusting the base cost of the flat sheet before material, quantity, and option pricing are applied. |
Print Editor
| Area | Effect |
|---|---|
| Source product | The Print Editor dropdown links this standard to a product template in the editor. When a customer opens the editor for a parametric product, the editor loads the canvas configuration (pages, editable zones, placeholders) from this source product. |
