.dst file conversion can import and export without centering for use in commercial circumstances.
The Preference for Screen Calbration has been changed to Graphics Scale / Calibrate which not only includes a wider setting for high-DPI Windows (4K) but also includes a Handle size setting for accessibility. This also includes DPI-aware drawing of the main view, zoom slider, navigation and rulers.
Branching has been introduced as a new feature for Creator level 3. This allows a set of objects to be selected together and a single Entry/Exit set for the entire branch.
The World's first 3D Foam automatic underlay is introduced for satin columns.
Numerous graphics have been added to support Windows 4K displays.
With the growing popularity of Windows 10 and the bundling with new computers containing high-DPI screens, an end result is often the user experiencing "tiny text". This prompts the user to change the scaling features of the display properties. Scaling often make the text bigger, but everything is a little fuzzy in the process. With the release of Designers Gallery version 1157, we have added icon sets and DPI-awareness to the Windows version of our software which minimizes the "fuzzy effects" of the scaling up process. The end result is if you run your display scaled at 150% for example, you receive a nice clean, clear program view.

To make it easier to find your font, we were able to give you a little help. Click the arrow to pop-up the list of fonts. Now, type the first few letters of what you're looking for. On Windows we have overridden it to work as follows: You can type and even backspace.
There is an updated 3D rendering system. This is visible in the main view as you zoom in, and also in the Save Image Utility from Advanced. Designs are now rendered at 600 DPI which gives the ability to zoom in and have a clear image.
Overwriting Creator working (.BE) files has occurred when a user opens the stitch file, then does a plain 'Save' or 'Save Working File' and then says 'its Okay to Replace my file' (which saves over the working file that wasn't open). It sounds innocent – you made changes – but wiping out the objects is not fun. Now we have a mechanism to protect you from accidentally doing this. When saving a working file 'over' another (replacing) the program checks the current one on disk and compares the two. If the one being saved was not 'Opened' as the one on disk, it will be given a version number (ex:(2) in its name). This version system will save someone out there a lot of work! But please quit replacing your files in the first place — add your own version number – its good practice, and lets you try variations out to see what you like best.
If the hoop is not touched, it won't change the hoop on the page.
For Creator L2 users it includes the ability to load vector files of types: .SVG, .FCM and .studio. Support for these formats may have some reasonable limits to what objects are being imported, but these 'Vector' reads are sufficient to bring in most files.
Please Note, at this time the update is not compatible with Windows 7.
