Pulse Microsystems has announced the release of Edition Xi, a revolutionary new version of the software package that gives embroiderers innovative, interactive and intelligent ways to create beautiful embroidery.

Brian Goldberg, President of Pulse Microsystems Ltd. said, ‘Building on our foundation of vector support, Edition Xi enhances the VBE experience. Vectors from popular graphic programs like Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, can be copied directly into Tajima DG/ML by Pulse embroidery software, and converted into stitches in a single step process.

‘Even more amazing is the new, interactive Draw Fusion feature that offers a seamless integration of the drawing capabilities of CorelDRAW with the powerful stitch generation of Edition Xi to convert artwork to stitches instantly.’

Pulse offers a complete suite of customisable and affordable embroidery machine networking solutions for any business size. Edition Xi offers exclusive support for LAN-enabled Tajima embroidery machines and the new design queue.

This groundbreaking achievement in machine networking makes managing production simpler. Send designs to a central design queue and assign them to any machine on your local area network (LAN). Sending designs to machines is now as simple as sending documents to a printer.

Passport embroidery networks can be wired or wireless and require minimal installation. Small embroidery shops will benefit from sending designs to multiple machines and tracking production, while larger embroidery businesses will benefit by using the hand-held devices (PDAs) to send designs to any available embroidery machine, and check the status of any machine from anywhere on the production floor!

Pulse was first to introduce vector-based embroidery over a decade ago and has continued their pioneering efforts with the latest version of Tajima DG/ML by Pulse. Edition Xi includes tight integration with Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW allowing users to copy and paste artwork from these popular graphics applications and paste it directly into Edition Xi.

This allows users to work with Edition Xi and CorelDRAW in the same window, update artwork in CorelDRAW and instantly see the changes in Edition Xi. If you are not happy with the changes then you can simply change them in Edition Xi to instantly update the artwork in CorelDRAW.

Repetitive tasks are time consuming and tedious. With the Settings Painter in Edition Xi, you can quickly copy settings from one segment to another, reducing the nee and tedium of duplicating tasks. You can use the Remove Overlaps feature to remove overlapped stitches from a design, a valuable feature for working with standard ClipArt designs that have many layers.

Librarian, Pulse’s complete Design Management solution, stores and manages artwork and embroidery designs. Through Librarian clients, you can access the design server to store, view, and retrieve designs. Librarian’s powerful search capabilities ensure that designs are located quickly; improving turnaround time and helping your offer better service.

Edition Xi also has the only automatic Sequin Fill feature available in the market today which allows complex shapes to easily be filled with sequins. Edition Xi includes the new Satin Swirl, which adds a non-traditional look to satin stitches and is perfect for cording too.

Other new features include new fonts, exclusive support for Tajima’s LAN machines, powerful productivity enhancers like Remove Overlaps and access to Pulse Today, a brand new, informative window in Edition Xi that gives users access to insightful articles from some of the foremost authorities in the embroidery industry, offers virus alerts, free designs, and access to tips and knowledge base articles through the Pulse e-services online store.

With Edition Xi, Pulse continues its rich tradition of bringing the latest technology and tools to embroiderers through regular introduction of new versions. Edition Xi has a fully expandable upgrade path, allowing you to start with only the tools you need and enhance the software as your business grows.

With the software available in 17 languages and distributed in over 95 countries, Pulse is a leading global presence in the embroidery industry.
