elcome to this addendum to my PE-Design II CD-Book. Here you will learn all about
the new features of the version 3.0 PE-Design® / DecoWizard® / Paletté® software, to
keep your CD-Book up-to-date!
The most outstanding new features are the ability to use every True Type Font installed on
your computer for your lettering-designs and the possibility to export to *.hus, *.pcs, *.dst and
*.exp-format. But also those other tiny little things are worth mentioning here: to be able to
use the arrow keys of your keyboard to move selected parts of a design, which gives you
more control. And using your Tab-key in Layout & Editing is a turbo-way of checking the
sewing order or reaching parts of a design covered by other parts! Or how about absolute
control over resizing and rotating objects by typing in numerical values, or the Realistic
Preview, that can even be changed to your own preferences, or….
Well, I know you don’t want a list of the new features; you want to use them. So, let’s start!
Print this document and follow the step-by-step exercises in the next chapters to learn all
about the new version 3 features in the best possible way to learn anything: by using it! If you
are a beginner in this software, don’t let the amount of text in the following chapters scare
you off! In the chapters I am explaining the how, why, when and where of the various
options. Once you have read all of the text, you will understand the features and then using
them is a breeze!
Enjoy!
