November Updates Pt. 2

Here’s a peek at more of the features in the November 2016 updates for Perfect Embroidery Pro (and all other Inspirations’ software programs).  The updates will go live on November 7, 2016. There are many exciting updates to make your digitizing experience more efficient.  When you open your software on Nov. 7, you’ll be notified of the new update.  Follow the prompts to bring your software up to date.

An exciting new feature on the popular Magic Wand is a tolerance adjustment slider. You’ll find it in the Backdrop Properties window.  To view the Magic wand tolerance adjustment bar, left mouse click on the  Backdrop tool icon on the left tool bar, placing a selection box around the backdrop image and activating the Properties- Backdrop box.

If you like to view your design in ‘3D’ view, you’ll find that familiar view is now named  “Realistic’. This clarifies the difference between viewing designs in a realistic format and morphing designs into a 3D affect that makes the embroidery appear to pop off the screen/fabric.

Guidelines.  You can now set custom degrees. Imagine how helpful that will be when drawing 60 degree diamonds!

New ‘Search’ feature has been added to the Library.  You can add Keywords to designs in Properties-Design; click Apply.

Right click on the word ‘Designs’ in the Library, select ‘Find’ or press Ctrl+F.  You can search for keywords, notes and more.

You can include non-native designs to your search (.jef, .pes, etc.).  The initializing is a bit slower the first time and the fields Keywords and Notes are only available for the C2S format.

Tip:  Saved ‘Notes and Keywords’ are displayed in the Properties box when the design is dragged and released above the Library box.  ‘Notes and Keywords’ are not displayed when the design is dragged directly onto an active design page.

You’ll find a few more updates that will make your embroidery digitizing experience more enjoyable and efficient.  Enjoy
