Hello, Monipezi has just posted in the Software forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Embroidery software recommendations?. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5573-Embroidery-software-recommendations Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Wilcoms Decostudio is a combo of Wilcoms Digitising Software and Corel Draw. It Started with Corel DRAWings (up to version 1 to X3) - a development from Corel and DRAWstitch (Wings System) to enable the use of vector graphics in embroidery. With ever package you have also bought a full version of Corel Draw. DRAWstitch and Corel split after Version X3 - Corel got together with Wilcom and created Decostudio - Drawstitch developed DRAWings 4 (now on Ver. 6) with ist own vector editor. DRAWings got much cheaper for the enduser - you do not need Corel Draw as editor any more - you safe the cost of a Corel DRAW. Decostudio ist still a combo of Corel Draw and Wilcom - you buy a full Corel DRAW with the package - even if you already own one. DRAWings ist now a complete standalone softwarepackage - no swapping between Corel Draw as editor and stitch mode - you even edit in 3D view your vector graphic with the stitches in full view - in realtime. Just a few thoughts of many - compare carefully all the features and tools (and costs) greetings from Austria -Peter *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
