Weird, because the first few logos I received from this person were functioning normally with the .pxf files. So I'm guessing these guys are running pirated software. It is from digitizers on Fiverr who operate from Pakistan/India, so I guess it makes sense that they're probably using pirated software.

I'm curious how much that was to add?

I got mine in 2014, and I do know it was under $1,000 back then. Possibly $700? But again, this was 12 years ago, that I got mine. You're going to have to speak with a sales rep of Pulse to get current rates. If you regularly do non-inhouse fonts, I'd say it's worth it. Sadly, I didn't get any training materials on how to use it, but I was able to figure it out with time. Though on DG16 there was some general bugs with fonts stability/appearing, that bled into that space, but I'm hoping the next fix will solve that.

Creating your own fonts is only possible at the Maestro level.

You can purchase the license for Font Creator separate from Maestro. At least we did, for our Illustrator Extreme tier.

I'm curious how much that was to add? I am running Artist Plus, but I have one client that always uses the same 2 or 3 fonts, that do not match any of the stock keyboard fonts, so I have to digitize them each time. I do save the common words in a separate file, but there never seems to be the one I need. smile

Move the bead in left corner of that segment. You will see another bead underneath it. Just an errant mouseclick when adding satin beads. I do it myself a lot, but it doesn't usually crash the software.

Yes, that is the thing, this usually does not cause a program crash. This is the first time this has happened to me, which is why I was puzzled. What is more, as you can see, the extra bead did not even distort the direction of the stitches, which also made it hard to notice right away and prevented me from seeing the cause of the problem.]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2026 06:28:28 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2486-when-duplicating-the-program-crashes.aspx Topic "When duplicating, the program crashes!" a message from keith@wsemerson.com Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:24:48 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2486-when-duplicating-the-program-crashes.aspx Topic "When duplicating, the program crashes!" a message from keith@wsemerson.com Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:11:02 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2486-when-duplicating-the-program-crashes.aspx Topic "When duplicating, the program crashes!" a message from TheFinishingTouch keith@wsemerson.com wrote:

Your request for a Center in Hoop command makes sense, especially for tech packs where the design needs to display correctly inside the hoop. We'll share this with our development team for review.]]> Thu, 25 Jun 2026 13:21:22 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2469-way-to-tuck-stitches-under-in-the-same-segment.aspx Topic "Way to tuck stitches under, in the same segment?" a message from Luebbers Mon, 22 Jun 2026 04:53:31 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2485-center-in-the-hoop-function.aspx Topic "Center in the Hoop Function" a message from Sandro Lanchava We operate an embroidery studio in Brooklyn and have been loyal Tajima users for many years. As part of our pursuit of a fully networked production environment and barcode-driven workflow, we recently transitioned from Wilcom to Pulse and have begun adopting it as our primary embroidery digitizing software.
While Pulse offers many advanced features that are superior to Wilcom, there are also several fundamental workflow tools that are surprisingly absent. Most of these seem like relatively simple additions that could significantly improve the user experience.
Feature Request #1 – “Center in Hoop” Button The most noticeable omission is the lack of a dedicated “Center in Hoop” button.
It was very disappointing to discover that Pulse DG16/DG17 does not include a simple command that centers a design to X:0, Y:0, placing it directly in the center of the hoop.
I have heard many Pulse users explain that the machine will automatically center the design regardless of where it is positioned in the software, and that hoops are loaded relative to the machine’s origin point. While that may be true from a machine operation standpoint, it completely overlooks an important part of the production workflow.
At our company, we do not run a single project without creating detailed embroidery tech packs that are stored in a centralized database. When generating PDFs for production approval, training, or operator reference, it is critical that the design is visually centered within the displayed hoop.
Because Pulse lacks a “Center in Hoop” function, our team is forced to manually snap every design to 0,0 coordinates before generating documentation. This adds unnecessary steps to a task that should be completed with a single click.
The absence of this feature becomes even more noticeable when using Tajima Writer Plus and Autograph workflows.
We also provide large-scale live embroidery activations where we deploy 4, 6, or even 8 Tajima SAI machines on-site. Each machine is paired with its own computer, allowing operators to customize guest artwork and send designs directly to production.
Virtually every operator on our team has provided the same feedback:
It is difficult to understand why Pulse includes functions such as:
• Maximize Artwork in Hoop
• 1:1 View in Hoop
but does not include a simple:
• Center Artwork in Hoop
button.
This has been a standard and fundamental feature in embroidery software for many years and was an important part of our workflow throughout the last seven years.
From a production standpoint, documentation standpoint, and operator training standpoint, a one-click “Center in Hoop” function would provide substantial value while requiring what appears to be a relatively minor software enhancement.
Has this feature been considered for future releases? If not, could the development team evaluate adding it to the roadmap?
Thank you for your time and consideration.]]> Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:42:45 GMT https://dgcommunity.pulsemicro.com/topic2469-way-to-tuck-stitches-under-in-the-same-segment.aspx Topic "Way to tuck stitches under, in the same segment?" a message from MrLogoSD MrLogoSD wrote:

I guess the only way to do it without some feature in the software is to break the letter itself into segments.
