Known issues (to be addressed in future releases)

  1. Jump stitches are improperly inserted under certain circumstances when creating large complex fills with many holes and cavities.
  2. Under Windows Vista, when Advanced Graphics Mode is enabled the screen may occasionally go black with a message stating that the graphic driver was re-started.  Usually, this can be alleviated by simply sizing the window slightly or minimizing and then maximizing the program window.  Alternatively, switching to Gdiplus Hi-Quality mode will also eliminate this issue.  This is now being investigated further to see if there are other possible remedies that can be made available in future versions.

 

*New letter sizing:  When modifying selected text objects within the program, new icons appear on top of each letter (upward/downward pointing triangles).  If you hover the mouse cursor over one of these icons and scroll the mouse wheel, it will change the size of the corresponding letter (and adjust letter spacing as needed).  Also, if the icon is clicked and dragged, it will change the vertical position of the letter.
