Miscellaneous improvements
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio e3.0 provides the following miscellaneous
improvements.
Add sequin designs to monogramming
Application crashes have been reported when inserting certain design elements,
for example sequins, into monogramming designs via the Ornaments tab. This
problem has been rectified.
Insert JEF files with match to palette
Application crashes have been reported when opening JEF files with the import
method set to match to palette. This problem has been rectified.
Match to palette
selected
Related to the above, the compact palette function fails to work with the match
to palette function. Colors of imported files are matched but when compacting
the palette some colors are lost. This problem has been rectified.
Display TrueView images without black highlights
Unwanted black highlights in TrueView particularly noticeable in areas of
open stitching have been reported in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. The same
issue has been reported in relation to capturing design bitmaps. This problem
has been rectified.
Multiple scrolling
Multiple scrolling has been reported when digitizing at the corner of the design
window. Moving the cursor in this area of the screen causes the display area to
be scrolled multiple times. This problem has been rectified.
Bling object outlines in CorelDRAW
Bling object outlines display unnecessarily in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. This
is no longer the case.
Native Wilcom EMB
Native Wilcom design files have been renamed from Design Files (EMB) to
Wilcom EMB Design (EMB). The Open Design and Save Design dialogs now
