NOTE: RAWings® 4 combines the two previous versions of DRAWings software known as "DRAWings X3 Standard and Professional Edition" and reads all ".DRAW" files created from any previous version. It is also added two new modules ( Text and Connect) to allow users create pre-digitized Text and direct connect with most common Embroidery machines. Plus the new exiting improvement listed below.
NEW DRAWings® build-in designer
DRAWings® 4 has now been evolved to include its own built-in designer with tools that help you draw your ideas into 3D embroidery results in real time, while the software interactively regenerates all embroidery parameters!
All designing tools like shapes, node editing, combining, copy/paste, and much more are now incorporated in DRAWings® to provide you a quick and easy-to-use way of designing while you still have the ability to keep using your favorite graphics software.
NEW "Scan To Embroidery" tool
New scan ability that allows you with only a few clicks to scan images and either convert them directly to embroidery or use them as backdrop to manually create the design on top.
NEW build-in Auto tracer with color adjustments
DRAWings® 4 automatically recognizes the type of image (bitmap, vector) you are importing from the starting dialog and loads the Auto-tracer for every bitmap. Set the number of colors you want the embroidery design to have so as to still look close to the starting image and you are ready. Any change you make on the Auto-tracer is automatically previewed to help you improve the traced image on the fly
NEW - Import Stitch files as it is and edit them with new editing tools
Import any supported stitch file inside DRAWings 4, as is, and selectively convert parts/objects of it or the entire embroidery design to editable artwork. You can also leave it unchanged and simply add some text or a complete design directly in the new "Create" tab. Give life to your old designs and enhance your current ones. You will never find yourself again stuck with stitch files you cannot edit simply because you don't have the source stitch file any more.
NEW - Combine stitch files with vector files inside Create tab
Now, you have the ability to have two or more stitch files together with your vector designs inside the new "Create" tab of DRAWings 4. You can edit them, decorate them and produce a new embroidery design from the combination of various different designs. And all of these with a few clicks of the mouse.
