Valley Oak Design Manager
Find it. Organize it. Open it. Make it.
Valley Oak Design Manager is a Valley Oak Customs product built around real CNC plasma and small-shop workflows. It gives SVG and DXF libraries a visual, searchable home while leaving the original design files where you put them.
- Browse and search your CNC library. See SVG and DXF previews and find designs by name, tags, notes, status, collections, favorites, or recent use.
- See the whole job in Design Workspace. Keep a selected design, its saved shop information, confirmed SheetCam JOBs, and related TAP or NC programs together in one clear view.
- Share organization between shop PCs. Use a Shared Workspace for common tags, notes, favorites, collections, status, and Workflow relationships.
- Review related manufacturing files. Follow Design to JOB to TAP/NC relationships, inspect likely matches, and preview supported machine files without running machine code.
- Keep control of your folders. Work locally or shared, use one or more library roots, and leave your CNC files where they already belong.
- Open designs in LightBurn. Send supported SVG and DXF designs to your installed LightBurn application without changing the original.
Upgrading? Install v1.5.0 over your current Design Manager installation. Existing Local Workspaces stay Local, and your library folders, saved organization, Workflow history, settings, and license remain in place.
What is new in v1.5.0: Design Workspace brings a design and its manufacturing files together, with smarter related-file review, clearer saved relationship history, and improved Local and Shared Workspace reliability.
