Whats New In Lace8?

For those of you who currently use Lace R-XP or Lace 2000, here are a few of the amazing new features of Lace 8

• Ribbon Bar Interface
  Lace8 features the brand new, polished and familiar Ribbon Bar Interface, similar to many of the Windows Office Suite applications.
• Suports Multiple Open Designs to a Single Window
  The new look also supports a new feature allowing one window to have many designs tabbed beside each other for ease of access and efficiency, removing the need to clutter your computer with multiple instances of the same program.
• Back-Up Warnings
  It can be frustrating when a small crash causes you to lose a lot of work, thats why Lace8 has a built in colour-warning system to give you an idea as to just how long you have been working without saving those important designs.
• Multiple Fonts Per Design
  Lace R-XP only allowed a single font per design. Lace 8 allows you to use as many different fonts as you wish in a single design.
• Cut and paste between designs
  Cut, copy and paste between multiple designs without having to open and close your designs.
• Extensive undo and redo system
  Lace8 allows you to undo up to one hundred steps backwards but if you've realised you want some of that back, the redo system can restore up to one hundred steps of undo.
• Bold Lines On Grids
  Lace 8 provides the option to separate the lines drawn onto grids into groups (like graph paper). Easily change the frequency of the bold lines or turn them on and off.
• Themes and Custom Colours
  Select the way your program looks by choosing from a selection of colour schemes or by selecting your own colour.
• Right Mouse Button Quick Menu
  Access the most common functions with a simple right mouse button click.
• Easier Operations On Selected Items
  Once items are selected, no need to right click on their selected points to perform functions on them.
• Bitmaps
  Option to add bitmap images to your design. Ideal to show photos of the finished piece or to allow an company logo to be included.
• Export to bitmap formats
  Export your designs to a selection of standard bitmap formats. Keeps the exact size too!
• Group Items
  2 or more items in your design can be grouped together to make one item which then acts as a single item. Great for repeats and motifs.
• Text and Pictures in Motifs
  Motifs in Lace 8 can now include text and images.
• Motifs Built In
  Complete motif library is now build into Lace 8 (Previously an additional purchase with Lace R-XP)
• Print Preview
  Lace 8 printing now includes a comprehensive print preview so you can see exactly how your design will look before committing it to paper.
• New Roseground Element
  A new design of roseground which more closely represents the standard symbol.
• Twists
  Add 1 to 5 twist symbols to gimps and curves.
