新功能介紹

Introducing the new patent pending Sketch stitch
Our newest addition to our embroidery software is the patent pending Sketch stitch technique. With Sketch, a bitmap image can be transformed into a charcoal sketch with just a black thread or an assortment of gray threads. The technique is tailored for use mostly on white fabric and covers roughly 20% of the area, making it versatile for embroidery on delicate materials like t-shirts. Reversed versions of Sketch on dark fabrics is also supported. This added feature expands the range of customizable options for our valued users.

Edit bitmap images that are filled with stitches inside the node editor
The node editor can now be used to edit bitmap images that contain stitch patterns. By inserting nodes and adjusting their positioning, the user may modify the shape and design of the image as desired. This added feature offers enhanced flexibility and customization for bitmap images with stitching, enabling more precise editing capabilities. This functionality can be particularly useful for stitching the image in a specific shape or area. Overall, the node editor's ability to edit bitmap images with stitches provides exciting possibilities for visual creativity.

Ability to rotate, slant and re-size bitmap shapes that are filled with stitches
This feature allows the user to rotate, slant, and re-size bitmap shapes that have been filled with stitches, therefore adding a new level of flexibility for artists and crafters who can create original and personalized projects. This function can also address stitching challenging areas or achieving desired symmetry in a finished product.

Apply trim and intersect on bitmap images
Another way to manipulate bitmap images is by using the Trim and Intersect tools. For example, trim allows the user to trim parts of the design and create holes. Intersect can also be utilized to combine multiple shapes, keeping only the overlapping area. With these tools, users have the ability to enhance their bitmap images and create unique embroidery designs.

Cut bitmap images that are filled with stitches and split them in parts
When working with embroidery designs, it is often necessary to split a bitmap image into multiple parts in order to fit the design within the stitching limitations of the machine or create a unique, artistic shape. The "knife" tool allows the user to precisely cut a bitmap into separate pieces. These pieces can then be moved individually and right within the design as needed.

Convert images with transparency to stitches without filling the transparent areas
DRAWings PRO version XII supports PNG files with transparency and will only generate stitches in the non-transparent area of the image. This ensures that the finished product has clean lines and does not waste any thread or fabric by filling in unnecessary spaces.

Images with Bitmap fill types - Clipping region
Clipping is now available for every bitmap fill type, that is, Cross-stitch, Photo-stitch, PaintStitch and Sketch. By default, those type of images cover a rectangular area. Now, users are no longer confined by the rectangular shape. Clipping can be used to either produce a different output shape, e.g. an oval PaintStitch image or to clip out parts of an image to be further used for more intrinsic designs.

Transparency to clipping region
When a PNG image with transparency is imported and converted into any bitmap fill type (Cross-stitch, PaintStitch, Sketch), the software actually generates stitches only in the non-transparent area of the image. In this case there is an extra option on the convert menu to "Convert transparency into clipping region" and in this way the transparent area of the image is clipped.

Overlapping objects create holes in bitmap images
This feature is very helpful as it removes stitches that are not visible when objects overlap with bitmap images. When an object is placed over a bitmap fill, a hole is generated in the desired shape. This feature works with all stitch types, including Cross-stitch, Photostitch, PaintStitch and Sketch. The overlapping functionality extends to objects underneath the bitmap fill, where any overlapping areas will be removed, creating a more streamlined design. This feature enhances the overall appearance of the designs and saves time in the editing process.

Automatic color selection in photostitch depending on the fabric color
In dark fabrics, Photostitch is automatically filled with white color and vice versa. This feature is applied on monochrome PhotoStitch designs, it saves editing time, and ensures that designs will stand out.

New fill type in Array, Floral fill
"Floral fill" is a special Array fill type which automatically creates impressive floral designs by using your own flowers to fill the array. It is a combination of "Floral vine" and "Space fill" which produces beautiful and unique embroidery designs.

Array fill with bitmap fill types
The new Array tool allows the user to fill an area using a bitmap image. This results in stunning effects with Cross-stitch, Photostitch, PaintStitch, and Sketch, which can take any design project to the next level. Usage of this feature is really simple, therefore allowing the user to effortlessly experiment with different patterns to achieve unique results every time.

Use bitmap images for your rectangular or circular arrays
Bitmap images in a rectangular or circular array can add a new dimension to any project. Whether it's a cross-stitch design, Photostitch, PaintStitch, or Sketch, these arrays allow for unique patterns and symmetry. It is truly easy to create these arrays, using any bitmap image in a chosen array shape. Size and placement are fully customizable. The result is a visually striking design that will certainly impress.

New fill type in Array, Space Fill
This innovative Space Fill type utilizes copies of the internal shape to create a unique, statement look for the outer shape area. The copies are scaled and rotated randomly to add dimension and texture to the design. This fill type can be used in a variety of ways, including large shapes for added visual interest.

Show - hide objects during editing
This tool is meant to temporarily hide objects from the screen, to facilitate editing of multi-layered designs, such as fill areas, shapes, and borders stacked on top of each other. The tool practically helps the user focus and handle underlying shapes and layers, without having to move the upper layers, while keeping them out of the way. This allows the clearer editing, creating intricate designs becomes simpler and more efficient.

Revolutionary new tool to add start/exit points and re-arrange objects at the same time
The new, patent-pending rearrange tool allows users to effortlessly modify design sequences, trim points, and start/exit points all at once. It works within a single-color layer, displaying the entire sequence graphically while allowing for simple drag operations to make changes intuitively. Users can further add or remove trims and adjust start and exit points with ease. This innovative tool streamlines the design process, saving time and improving efficiency.

Random stitches (Satin - Satin serial)
Satin - Satin serial stitches can add depth and texture to an embroidery design, but when placed in a random pattern, they can take on a whole new level of visual interest. This technique allows for greater flexibility in the composition of a design, as well as a more unconventional and unpredictable look. The random placement adds movement and energy to the design, creating a unique piece every time. Random satin stitches can elevate any embroidery project and lend it a truly one-of-a-kind feel.

Support for vertical text
DRAWings PRO v. XII offers support for vertical text placement. This feature automatically generates stitches to fill the designated text area, allowing a seamless integration of vertical lettering into the designs. This addition offers greater design flexibility and allows for unique visual elements in embroidery projects.

Precise text spacing between characters
Embroidery letter spacing can now easily be adjusted with numeric values. Depending on the design, a smaller value will result in tighter spacing while a larger value will create looser spacing between letters. These settings can be adjusted to the user’s liking, allowing for maximum customization of the designs.

Smooth nodes - fine tune vector shape
DRAWings PRO v. XII automatically removes any unnecessary nodes, thus increasing the quality of the designs created after trace (Auto-digitize). Since cusp nodes are not to be removed by this automatic tool, converting the cusp nodes into smooth nodes is recommended before applying the tool.

Change the density of stitch designs (.dst, .pes, .jef, .vip etc.)
DRAWings PRO v. XII allows adjusting the density of stitching in embroidery files like .dst, .pes, .jef, .vip, etc. within a 25% range. Fluctuating the density adds emphasis to certain features or reduces the stitch count for more delicate fabrics. This fine-tuning can also be helpful in compensating for changes in the design’s scale.

Apply Special functions (Trim and Stop) on objects through the Sequence manager
The Sequence manager allows more customization of the designs. The "Trim" function triggers a thread trim before a specific object, allowing more control over the design process. The "Stop" function pauses the embroidery machine before stitching the selected object, offering the chance to change thread colors or add embellishments. This added feature in the Sequence manager allows for even more precise and creative embroidery designs.

Auto add Fix / Lock stitches, if needed, in stitch designs (.dst, .pes, .jef, .vip etc.)
Proper stabilization of the embroidery is crucial to prevent unraveling or distortion. That's DRAWings PRO v. XII automatically adds fix and lock stitches, where necessary, to raw stitch designs like .dst, .pes, .jef, .vip etc. This not only saves time and effort, it also ensures high-quality results with every design.
Fix: small stabilizing stitches added at the beginning of an object to stabilize it
Lock: small stabilizing stitches added at the end of an object to prevent unraveling

Replaced Colors dock by a smart edit box and swatches
The old Color dock has been replaced with a more efficient and user-friendly, smart edit box for naming or inputting color codes, coupled with an expanded swatch display. The edit box allows quick access to specific colors, while the expanded swatch display provides an at-a-glance view of all available colors. This new setup streamlines the design process and enhances the overall usability.

Find a specific color by searching with a hex color code or a specific thread color name/number
Search in the Colors dock is now possible by using a hex code, also known as a hex triplet. Exact shades can be selected just by inputting the six-digit combination of letters and numbers. Alternatively, a certain thread of the current thread palette can be located by searching with the respective thread color name or number. Finding a color has never been easier.
