This Update includes the following changes and improvements:
bulletBeginning with this service pack, the installer now records in the registry where EDS IV / Sizer / Letera are installed. The installer assumes that the default path for any ENS files will be the Embroidery Network System directory adjacent to the EDS IV directory.
bulletThis version supports the reading and writing of the Janome .jef home format.
bulletWhen mirroring lettering from the Position TAB and then changing the size wrong values were being applied.
bulletUses an updated Sydex driver that is Plug and Play for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Previous driver for NT would cause problems shutting down in Windows 2000.
bulletIf a user closed the print preview dialog via the ‘X’ or icon menu and then later crashes (for whatever reason), the toolbar registry could be left in an unknown state and Letera may not start the next time the user tries to run Letera.
bulletLetera would crash with lettering jobs when the following steps were performed: Setup a lettering job. Click on Ok. Go back into lettering job. Type a character. Click on Cancel. Go back into lettering job. Select new alphabet. Click on Ok.
bulletWhen Exporting to a Tajima disk and overwrite an existing file, answer yes or no to the prompt: a crash occurs. Also, once a crash occurs, no write operation can be completed without a crash. Sometime a crash will occur if after writing to a double density disk, the user changes to a HI density disk and tries to write again.
bulletIf a "disk full" error is encountered while exporting to Tajima, results would be a disk full error, then a system crash.
bulletWhen using "Save As" to save a Tajima design and setting the jump stitch count to a new value the new value does would take affect until the next "Save As"
bulletLettering jobs using closest point alphabets will remove the manual underlay of some letters.
bulletColor changes inserted into the end of a lettering job took affect on the last character of the lettering job.
bulletTwo things with exporting to ZSK. The first, ZSk options dialog showed a heading of Barudan. Second, after exporting there were no needle changes at all.
bulletSome menu items had duplicate accelerator keys.
bulletExpanded designs were being handled improperly when adding Lock Stitches to them. If an element started with Jump Stitches moving to the element, it did the Tie Ins before the Jumps, instead of after where the first stitch is of the new element.
bulletFill type 1 was not ignoring the stitch length setting when calculating stitches.
bulletRunning stitches could sometimes be seen underneath trapunto complex fills.
bulletWhen opening files with outlines made of a bean stitch, the outline came out as a running stitch instead of a bean stitch.
bulletWhen creating a lettering job that ends with an explicit trim command in the lettering job itself and inserting a Return to Origin at the end of the design the Return to Origin was not working.
bulletWhen opening a file from one floppy disk, and then changing floppies do and performing a File:Save then closing the window a blue screen appeared asking for the original floppy.
bulletOn lettering where a primary and secondary zigzag underlay is selected, the resulting stitches for the underlay would start on the same side of the column. It now will start the primary underlay on one side and the secondary underlay on the opposite side of the column.
bulletMulti-line text jobs that use closest point alphabets would sometimes result with the last character of the first line to curve
