  • Simple licensing system
  • Automatic notification of new feature updates

Minimal space used in Add-ins ribbon

Check out the exciting features available in P.I.G. Batch here:
  • The settings file can be shared across your company ensuring consistent preview images.
  • **Automatically regenerates the preview image every time families are saved!
  • Batch process new preview images for thousands of families at a time!
