Hello,
I have used Corel X3 on a XP & Vista machine with the Drawstitch Embrodiery Effect plug-in. However, when I install it on Windows 7, the Embroidery Effect is not showing up in Corel, even thought both programs seemed to install successfully. Does anyone know if this is a Windows 7 problem, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Geoff
Hi Geoff,
a newer version of that free software replaced it and works as a standalone product only; it works fine in W7. I looked at an old thread regarding this and the link no longer works. I opened the software on my computer and it has a link, but that too took me to a redundant site. Do a search in here and type in Embroidery plugin, or Embroidery effect and see what you can find. I only looked at the one thread, so there may be others with a newer link.
Let us know how you go.
Best regards,Brian.
Hey Brian,
Thanks for you response. I checked with Drawstitch and a guy told me the "workspace" had been changed in Windows (or Corel). I'm not even sure what that means, but all I had to do was press F8 when opening Corel and it was fixed. Embroidery Effect was there. It was the quickest, simplest computer fix I've ever experienced!
that's great news, I am glad to hear it. For X5 users we have to use the newer standalone version as the addon(plugin?) does not work with X5 (as distinct from W7). Not a big deal deal though, it is quick and simple.
Thanks for letting us know you got it sorted.
