EXPORT & PUBLISH

Sync and save your Datylon files in the Adobe cloud


Nowadays, with remote work being the standard rather than the exception, designers need to access documents across devices while edits are automatically saved on the cloud. Therefore, Datylon now supports using Illustrator cloud documents, which is Adobe's cloud-native document file type (.aic). It can be accessed online or offline directly from within the Illustrator application and saved in the background. Learn more with our Help Center article.


DATA-DRIVEN STYLING

Blank or empty cells in the data? We got it covered!


Most often graph or report designers get the data from external sources. And sometimes this data contains empty cells. But also when data cells are empty, they can be significant. Both for categories and values. We have thoroughly analyzed the different scenarios for different chart types and have come up with a logical and consistent behavior of visualizing, or not, the empty cells in your data. Read more about this new feature.


COMPATIBILITY

Unleash your Apple Silicon-based Mac's full potential


At Datylon we are committed to supporting the constantly evolving hardware technology to help users produce more graphs, even faster. Apple has started the transition from Intel processors to Apple Silicon (M1 chips) in Mac computers.
On our download page, you now have separate plug-in downloads for Mac Intel as well as for Mac Apple Silicon. Download the M1-optimized plug-in.
