I have DG 16 but maybe I need a different version?
Attached is what I am seeing in my program
The Combine and Breakup tool are available at the Illustrator Extreme level and above.
.
If the Breakup tool is not available to you, I have another idea on how to move the dot above the "i." I see that the Vertex Select tool (Shortcut - N) is available to you.
.
Do the same steps: break the text into segments, then select the letter "i" or "j." Now, choose the Vertex Select tool (N). Use this tool to select the ENTIRE dot above the "i." Only now you are selecting not the object itself, but the nodes. So, hold down the left mouse button and select all the nodes of the dot in the letter "i." The object's node color will change from red to yellow. Using Vertex Select, you can move the entire object wherever you need.
.
However, with this method, you won’t be able to remove the jump stitch if there is one, meaning you won’t be able to add a trim.

That is an issue I am having as well.
We got our fonts to look better but still having some issues with i's and j's
Secondly, would there be a way to take the New Block font and make a copy of it, edit the i's and j's so that it is automatically setup like this every time? I have been trying to find resources on creating my own font. Anyone have suggestions?
To increase the spacing between letters, use the setting: Segments settings → Text → General → Letter spacing.
To edit each letter individually, you need to break the text into segments:
Right-click on the text object → Process → Text to Segments.
After this, in Sequence View, you will see that each letter is now separate. However, the letters i and j will still be together with their dots. You need to select the letter i or j and perform a Breakup (Ctrl + K). This will separate the dot from the main body of the letter, allowing you to move or delete it.
Unfortunately, this process cannot be done automatically.
Also, internal fonts in DG cannot be edited.
You can create a font from scratch in DG using any TrueType font with the built-in tool:
Manage → Fonts → New.
However, this feature is only available in Maestro versions of DG.

I also have issues with 'i' and 'j' from time to time, but I adjust the dots manually if they are too close. As for TrueType fonts, the conversion from Fill to Satin stitch doesn't take long; it only requires adjusting the stitch angles occasionally. For vertical alignment, I mainly use German Block New.. The dots, by the way, are positioned higher in this font and, when vertically aligned, they are well-trimmed on the sides.
Would you be able to explain how you move the "dots up for me?

So i just started using DG 17 and we use PNG files from the PXF to make digital proofs for customers. It was just pointed out to me that a PNG I exported from DG17 is appearing very puffed up from what it should appear.
The attached image shows the difference between an export from 17 and DG15.
Anyone know if this is just a settings change on DG17?
Thanks!
It looks to me that in the DG17 screenshot, Compensation is activated. However, in DG15, it is either not activated or its value is lower than in DG17. Please check this parameter.

When you save a preset, it appears to be saved in the current design. However, when opening a new design or creating a new one, the saved preset is no longer available.
The same issue occurs after restarting the program - the saved preset is gone.

Thank you so much for the response. i finally found the setting i was looking for on this latest update of V16.5.3.7660. That allows me to manually add start and stop points after finishing a segment. The setting is not found on same place as the previous version. I have attached the 2 images of different updates for reference. I am now sorted.

Great post! The V16 Illustrator's Extreme Manual Start/Stop Points feature is a game changer for precision work. It's fantastic how it gives users more control over their design process. Looking forward to trying it out for my next project—thanks for sharing the details!

To the best of MY knowledge, you do not have the ability to "program" Pulse DG16 to have start/stop points occur manually. When digitizing a segment, the start/stop "beads" appear in the segment automatically, but YOU have the ability to move them to where you want them. At least I do in my DG16.
