Process: Text to Segments just splits the letters

DG12 used to give me the actual segments, and not just the individual letters as whole pieces, I don't know where that changed between DG12 then and DG16 now. My goal was to delete individual stitches between the letter "i" and it's dot, that are hardcoded into the font. Every time I delete them, they just regenerate. My clients can see those stitches and they consider it a low quality embroidery. Because of that, for enough of my customers, this eliminates many fonts as options.

After you split the text into segments, all letters with dots and diacritical marks become combined objects. You need to break them apart either by clicking the button on the toolbar or by using the Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut.
After that, in Sequence View, you will see two separate objects, to which you can apply trimming and set a lock stitch.

Oh wow! Thank you for that, this actually solved another problem/missing feature I was having since DG12. I never noticed that button pop up there.

You don't always have to break the text into segments to remove the trim in the lowercase i's and j's. Select the text. Right-click and choose PROPERTIES. There is a text dropdown, from there go to CONNECTIONS, there is the CONNECTIONS INSIDE CHARACTERS section, put a check mark in the TRIMS and LOCKS box. TRIM TYPE: ALWAYS. LOCKS: ALWAYS. I added some screen shots too.
