Hi Fancystitchz. To keep your vector artwork visible, try enabling outlines by pressing Shift + X or clicking the green heart outline icon in the top toolbar. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, could you please let us know what steps you took to import the vector artwork and which file format you’re using? It would also be helpful to know which version of DG you’re running. To find this information, click Help in the top ribbon, then select About. Your version number will appear at the top of the window and should look something like 16.5.5.7683.

Once I bring my Vector art in unless I put a bounding box around it, it fades out. Do I need to have something turned on to avoid this?

This is a great request, and I have made one similar for DG16, which never happened. If I may add to your request, it would be nice to also be able to group objects without combining them, and to be able to have multiple groups, and even group several groups into one group while retaining the groups within and be able to distribute those groups. All of this is possible in CorelDraw. (perhaps Illustrator too, I'm not sure) It sure helps speed up the layout process.

We’d like to request a Distribute tool for spacing objects evenly in DG 17. Current behavior When we place 3 or more objects (names, numbers, logos, repeated designs), we have to space each one by hand. It’s slow, and the spacing is rarely perfect. Requested change Add a Distribute command that works when 3 or more objects are selected: The user picks a direction: Left to Right (horizontal) or Top to Bottom (vertical). DG 17 sorts the selected objects by position in that direction. It measures the gap between the first and second object. It places every object after the second at that same gap, one after another. This lets us set the spacing once, using the first two objects, and have the rest follow it exactly. Nice to have A choice between edge to edge spacing and center to center spacing The standard distribute mode as well, where the first and last objects stay in place and the space between is divided evenly A numeric field for typing an exact gap Why it matters This saves real time on layouts with repeated elements and keeps every design consistent and organized. It would make working in DG 17 much more pleasant. Thank you for considering this.

Feature request: modern Save/Open dialog in DG 17

We use DG 17 every day for production at General Wear Inc., and we’d like to request an improvement to how files are saved and opened. Current behavior When saving a file, DG 17 shows an older style save window. It has two problems: No direct access to Favorites or Quick Access. We have to click through several folders every time to reach the locations we use most. No search. Our project folders hold hundreds of design files. Without a search box we have to scroll through all of them by eye to find the right one, which is slow and easy to get wrong. Requested change Please switch DG 17 to the standard modern Windows file dialog for Save, Save As and Open. That would give us: Favorites and Quick Access pinned folders, one click away A search box to filter files by name Recent locations and the usual navigation pane We’d expect this to be standard in current software, and it would save us real time on every job. Impact We save and open files many times a day, and the extra clicks and manual scrolling add up quickly across our production week. Thank you for considering this. We’re happy to give more detail or test a beta build. M.D.M. GENERAL WEAR INC. hello@generalwearinc.com edited by MDM GWI on 10/11/2026

Hello Grasel Graphics. The issue has been fixed in Varsity New, which is the same font with a few stitching improvements. Please select Varsity New to use the corrected version. If you don’t see it in your font list, please download and install the latest version of DG16 from our download page.

The "VARSITY" font only on the letter A does not have stitches but when you move the angle line on the right side above the serif, the stitches show. It looks like the font needs attention.

Hi. It sounds like you are mentioning an existing feature: "Freehand Mode" works like just you asked. If your software level is Illustrator Extreme or higher, you can use it. Select Run tool first, click "F" in the keyboard, then click and hold with your mouse's button and move the mouse. If you use right click of your mouse button once, you will not need to hold any button while moving your mouse.

I have two suggestions to improve this tool:
1. An element created with the manual stitch tool does not show where its start and end points are. This can only be determined by checking adjacent elements positioned before or after it. It would be great to have the start and end displayed directly on the element itself, just like elsewhere: a green circle for the start and a red triangle for the end.

If a design is made entirely of manual stitches, it is very difficult to see where an element starts and ends in order to edit it if necessary.

2. Add the option to insert start-lock and end-lock stitches at the start and end in the manual stitch tool. Currently, there is no way to do this.

Every time I exit the design properties page (shift+e), the software will throw up a hoop on my design page, which I have to remove. Very irritating when doing a lot of numbers and names.
