[amayausers] Digitizing Small Lettering

Hi, Aaron-
A bit of a delayed response, I know. Putting in extra hours at the day-job
this week.

I am using Design Shop Pro 2004 v.5.07.023.

I am glad to hear that real users are working with the beta versions. There
are some quirks I would like to see go away (new since our upgrade) and some
features that would be nice to have. We used Husqvarna-Viking software with
our previous single-needle machine, and sometimes I wish I still had that
package. We could selectively auto-digitize individual shapes and lines -
sometimes a big time saver. Also, the scroll wheel on the mouse would zoom
in and out of the design, which was very useful. Anyway, they seem trivial
now that I see them in writing!

I'll look forward to a sample- no rush. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
-david O.
