Re:

KenBeynor:

it is not important which version of CorelDRAW you will get within the Deco Studio package. You can use DRAW X3 or X4 or IIlustrator or copy and paste from one to the other.

It makes a difference if you work in your favorite graphics application environment (CorelDRAW :-) and can use all the benefits and tools to directly convert it into Embroidery or use Copy&Paste between 2 disconnected applications.

Wilcom DecoStudio has a tight integration of CorelDRAW (CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 comes included with DecoStudio e1) so that you can work with multidecoration in one single file. You can create Embroidery, Appliqué and print within the same file in a seamless workflow.

The Lettering that Wilcom provides is another benefit you can directly access from layouts created in CorelDRAW with DecoStudio (you won't get that direct connection with Copy&Paste that easily - not with specifying which object should be used for specific Lettering options) while maintaining other parts of the vector graphics as is (for print).

KenBeynor:

Are you going to release a trial version for Deco Studio?

We will not provide a public trial version of DecoStudio e1 with the release. We will post demo videos though to give a good insight of the product.

KenBeynor:

Are you going to offer 30 days money back guarantee as you offered me for DRAWings ?

Yes, Wilcom DecoStudio will be provided with the common money back guarantee that is offered on the Corel Direct Store.

I am not following Klaus :-)

I can use CorelDRAW, my favorite graphics software, within DRAWings 4 Pro, I can directly convert to embroidery, I can save in one file both graphics and embroidery, I can export either part of my work, I have 60 pre-digitized fonts with another hundred control tools and amazing abilities for Monogramming. Have you seen DRAWings 4 Pro? You might have to have a look at it. I'm not telling you this because I just read it somewhere; I do have the new version and have done all these with it!

Great to know that you will offer money back guarantee for Deco Studio; I will get it and try it out as soon as it is released!!! However, I would prefer a trial as demo videos mean nothing for me.

ya i hear ya ken ... i guess i'm just really lazy haha cause i havent' got the x4 upgrade and if deco comes with x4 then i'll be killing 2 birds with one stone :) mwahaha

Hey any word on weather deco is coming with X4??? i got the OK from the boss to buy!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This is the info I have so far.  I have Drawings pro.  I have put my deposit down for the new deco studio that comes with X3.  That gives me a free upgrade to the X4 version of Deco when it comes out(does not include shipping).  Although it is bad to assume anything, I would think that if you buy the X3 non-upgrade, that this would apply to you also.

Hi,

when you purchase Wilcom DecoStudio e1, you will be eligible for an update to the next version of DecoStudio that will be built around CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 for a nominal price (cost of materials + shipping) - that offer is for a limited time.

Gérard posted this info in his blog already. 

Best regards,
Klaus.

Klaus,

When will Deco start shipping?  I heard that it would ship the 1st of March.  I ordered mine through Digital Art Solutions and they said that the shippment they had coming was diverted to another vendor.  This would result in an additional 2-3 week delay.

hey is deco out with X4 yet? cause i gotta get that program ! :)

Not yet. As Klaus mentionned before, if you get DecoStudio e1 today, you will get the version based on X4 when released for a nominal fee.

i just want to kill 2 birds with one stone .. x4 upgrade with deco .. :)

I just started using DecoStudio a week ago and I have an issue with some stitching.   The logo is approx 3/8" tall upper case letters that say

California

Mission Inn

It started as a Garamond Bold, but converted to curves

2 of the N's stitch with a horizontal stitch, while one of the N's and the letter M stitch Vertically.

Also the letters S's stitch following the path of the curve while the letters O stitch vertically.

I've read every Help page about adjusting the stitch and can fidn no help.

I also posted this to the Wilcom site, but with the time difference figured I give this a shot also.

I can actually copy one of the good N's and replace the bad one, but I'm stuck on the O's and M

Any help will be appreciated.

 ps: I would have posted the .emb file but the site would not accept that file extension..... needs to be added to the list of acceptable files?

You can now attach .emb files to the forum posts. Keep in mind that the file size limitation for all attachements to the forums is still in place.

• Well, I appear to have figured out how to rotate the stitch direction, so I've fixed the 4 letters that were 90 degrees off of all the others.
• 
  
• But I believe I have found the real problem, Why did I have to convert the Garamond font to curves just to get it to stitch in Deco?
• 
  
• It appears that Garamond works fine, until I changed it to Small Caps and stretched the character spacing.   Then it just would not stitch.
• 
  
•  The attached screen capture
  
• Black is straight Garamond and it stitches fine
• Orange is small caps   +char space  - line space
  
• Blue  is mconverted to curves (with 4 letters having to be rotated
• Green  is  small caps only, no change to any spacing

4 hours of work   :(

Klaus, you have posted above that: “Yes, Wilcom DecoStudio will be provided with the common money back guarantee that is offered on the Corel Direct Store.” Is this correct? What about this DecoStudio customer? http://www.digitsmith.com/decostudio-6198.html
