Thank you for sharing the photos. They confirm that the Capped Ends setting is missing from its usual location.
The Satin Capped Ends tool is a relatively new feature, which may explain why it is not appearing depending on the version of DG17 you are using. To confirm, please click Help in the top navigation and select About. The version number should read Creator 17.1.1.8241.
If your version number does not match, please download the latest version of DG17 here: https://cloud.tajimasoftware.com/Download
Should the issue persist after updating, please let us know, and we will be happy to assist you further, including coordinating with our support team if needed.

The permission to "Change Priority" will reset when you close Pulse.
Yes, I already have CorelDRAW installed as I use my PC for print graphics. In fact, the CorelDRAW Fusion feature does not work; the error message ‘Unable to start Corel’ appears.
Furthermore, in terms of performance, the software cannot handle more than 32 cores.
When will there be a fix for these issues?
Thank you very much.
Best regards

Good morning,
I am experiencing stability issues with the software. I updated to version dg17 believing that the issues would be resolved, but I am still experiencing the same issues and have encountered new ones as well. In short, the software crashes for no apparent reason. It closes suddenly and randomly, even when all other software is closed and there are no drawings open. I find it closed suddenly, or it closes suddenly when I move the mouse pointer. The same thing happens when I am creating a logo and move it a few millimetres; sometimes it crashes suddenly. The software does not give any error warning, it just closes. When working on complex logos, it takes a long time to generate the points. I have also noticed that when I finish working on some designs and the programme remains open but with no designs loaded, and I open the Windows Task Manager, the running executable ‘DG17.exe’ remains with a lot of memory occupied. It has even happened that 16GB and 22GB of data were loaded into memory even though the software had nothing loaded, but if I close the software, open it again and load even 10 complex logos, it does not saturate the memory in this way. I honestly do not know what is causing this, and, sometimes, although rarely, I have received an error message saying ‘Out of Resources’ and the interface goes haywire, with the interface fonts changing to a ‘Windows 3.11’ style and almost all the buttons and windows disappearing.
I have formatted the PC several times and reinstalled the software several times, but the problem persists. The only improvement is the spooler design, which is faster and more responsive than before.
The PC's hardware requirements are:
Lenovo ThinkStation P920:
2 Intel Xeon Gold 6154 @ 3GHz CPUs (36 cores x 2)
128GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia P4000 8GB GPU
2TB SSD + 4TB HDD
DVD-RW
TPM 2.0
OS: Windows 11 Pro
DG17 Artist Plus
All updates are installed.
I kindly ask if you could assist me in resolving this issue, thank you.
Francesco

Hi Tom, welcome to the DG community! The Capped End feature works only with satin stitches, so be sure to select a satin segment first. Once selected, double-click the segment and navigate to Satin > Capped Ends in the left menu. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to send us a screen recording of your process so we can take a closer look and help.
3D puff is an advanced technique that takes some practice, but the results are well worth it once you get comfortable. If you’d like to learn more, check out these resources: 3D Puff Tips and Satin Capped Ends.

New to embroidery and DG17, trying to dive into digitizing. The webinar showed a Capped End setting that seems to be missing from my software. I have Creator, so that should not be the issue. Any help is appreciated.

You’re right, the correct instruction is Click File > Save, not View > Save. Thank you for the correction.

Hi fancystitchz. The disappearing artwork may be related to the Show Outlines setting. If it’s turned off, vector art can appear to vanish once unselected. The Show Outlines option is highlighted with a red outline in the attached image.
If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please send us a short video of your process so we can take a closer look.

Hi Mac Ryan. If you want to reuse the settings for a Random Fill, you can save them as a Preset. Here’s how:
To create a new preset using Random Fill:
1. Go to Tools > Manage > Presets.
2. Click New in the bottom-left corner of the pop-up.
3. Select Complex Fill from the side panel.
4. Check the box next to Fill Pattern and set it to Random.
5. Adjust any additional settings as needed.
6. Go to the top menu and click File > Save.
To make this preset available in future designs:
1. Go to Tools > Manage > Presets.
2. Make sure Presets is selected.
3. Change the top dropdown from Presets to Preset Sets.
4. Choose Basics, then click Open.
5. Select your newly created presets.
6. Click Save, then close the window.
Please note that once a preset has been created, it will only appear in new designs.

Once I paste it in the blank design, if I click off the logo it disappears. Using Adobe online illustrator. Pulse needs to upgrade the files it will accept. We as digitizers ask for a vector file and then we can't import it. I gave tried saving down and many times the file is not acceptable once saved dow.

Hi StickersMC. You can adjust the background image by clicking “IMAGE” in the top toolbar, then selecting “Backdrop Select.” Once the image is selected, right-click it to make adjustments.

I've tried to search this, but I may not be using the correct terminology. We have our logos digitized by someone else, but when we get them back, it of course has the background image we originally sent them behind the stitches. If I hit CTR-A and select all of it to resize it, the original artwork that's in the background stays the same size. How can I resize the backgound art the same as the stitches?

COREL DRAW DG15 HELP
Tajima SoftwareAdministrator Posts: 531

Hello Nev,
The Autotrace tool in DG15 only works with image files, so a pasted artwork file from Corel won’t be compatible.
Artwork or image files on their own cannot be loaded to an embroidery machine; they must first be converted into embroidery using stitch types. To easily convert your artwork into stitches, just right-click any line and click "Convert Segment to" > "Choose Stitch Type".
To create a machine-ready embroidery file, you’ll need to manually digitize the artwork or use Autotrace on an image file and then assign stitch types as needed. If you’d like more detailed guidance or training, check out our YouTube channel @TajimaSoftware or reach out to your local distributor: https://www.tajimasoftware.com/contact.
