•Did
you always open .dst files and see this??? Ticks you off right?? Each time
you open a .dst file you created, you are bound to have seen this kind of
image view.
Now,
for the first time on the the globe...you can see this!
•
I-Cliqq
gives you the power to view your .DST files in a visual sequence that is
correct. Optically, you will find assigning thread colors or setting a machine
sequence simpler. In an I-Cliqq world-first...you can now save/open .dst
files in a correct optical sequence. ( The same is possible
in .dsb and .dsz formats)

I-Cliqq will export the following machine filetypes
•
I-Cliqq exports
the most popular machine formats. The are also many free viewers and converters
that allow format conversions.
•
I-Cliqq allows
you to convert stitch objects to outline objects wherever practically possible
on machine files. The software allows you to target just the area you want
to convert, without compromising any other stitch data. You will find this
handy if you would like to perform an outline edit on a machine file like
*dst/*pes/*sew files etc. Generally, digitizers opt to just delete, and
re-digitize troublesome sections. Since I-Cliqq also contains digitizing
tools, besides just editing, you can also perform excellent fixes to troublesome
files.
•The
I-Cliqq Integrated Hoop system allows you to create exactly the hoop guides
that you need. You can import, delete, move, rotate,show/hide or Autofit
your design to the hoop center in a click!
•Create
instant outlines on text or objects. I-Cliqq is vector based, so there is
no real separation from the graphics aspect within I-Cliqq. You can combine,
weld, intersect or extract object outlines and convert these into practical
stitchtypes. Once you have a vector object, you can manipulate its outline
to achieve your desired outcome. Convert to run, bean, midline satins, tatami
fills, or motif runs.
•
The I-Cliqq Object Stream gives you a new level of selection power. Do you
always have problems selecting objects?? I-Cliqq allows you to easily add
or delete objects from a selection...and it stays that way until you de-select
these objects.
•See
design previews in the Design Tab Preview before opening any in the active
screen.
•I-Cliqq
Image Effects - allows you to adjust your backdrop imaging for optimal brightness/contrast.
This is helpful to highlight scratchy images that may be from magazine clippings,
faxed or freehand art. Digitizing backdrop art may not always be the best
quality and this is a reality that most digitizers contend with on a daily
basis. We all would love artwork to arrive very clean, or preferably as
effective vector art, but this isn't always possible. I-Cliqq Photo FX can
also convert images to single color embroidery. This process is great for
creating embroidery semblance, and in cases does require retouching images
to obtain good results. In combination with other embroidery tools , one
can create personalised embroidery creations. Some clear photos can produce
good results with no retouching . One should bear in mind that this automatic
process initiates from the light/dark areas of an image .
•Onboard
Shade charts include Madeira, ThreaDelight, Marathon, Vista, and a variety
of others, with the added power of creating your own custom charts. I-Cliqq
also features an innovative yet simple way to match, and detect precise
screen color. Get things right first time..no drawn out color matching,
or taking ages over sequencing your colors..Its all done, in a few clicks!
•I-Cliqq
contains a minimum of 75 popular charts, but you can modify, create, share
your thread charts limitlessly. Assign PMS codes, or update the RGB/HSB values
as you require. Small operations can create a custom chart of your colors
in stock, and update as you need streamlining color choices to what you have
in stock - This saves time when doing client consultations and doing color
mockups. Have you had clients taking up hours over choosing colors,
then picking colors you have to still order?
•Eyedrop
color precisely with a click! Simply select any color or object. Color matching
and optimisation employs similar click technology making your tasks precise,
simple, and fun.
•I-cliqq
offers you beautiful automatic splitting and custom carving methods so you
can change parameters and see your changes applied immediately.The ability
to set a stitch minimum length,allows you unlimited variations of controlled
parameters.This feature not only saves you stitches,but can allow you excellent
control over large lettering or object styles,making the visual split appearance
not only beautiful, but productively practical. Carve lines within objects
are editable, the same as path outlines. Bezier path control gives you fluent
and adaptable control, with any change to outlines updating instantly. If
you see this world class feature with the same degree of editability anywhere,
let us know..if you suddenly see it, remember .....you saw it here..first!
In fact, if you keep a close eye on this space over the next few months, you're
likely to see numerous world-first functionalities appear.
•I-Cliqq
Preferences - Allows you to tweak your User Interface appearance practically
, so you can generally give your buttons an eyecatching look, set sound off/on,
give node of function indicators differing appearances to suite your taste.
You can vary some preferences from the default, but naturally users should
exercise caution when setting up colors affecting the buttons, outlines ,
unstitched sequence color etc. Overall it's quite fun to play with , and create
the setting that is most visually pleasing to your own eye. It was suggested
that we add mp3 audio functionality so that users could select tunes while
working in I-Cliqq, but we decided thats best left to the audio professionals.
•I-Cliqq
provides you with the tools you need! Be as accurate as you want to be..Apart
from the grid and guide setup, I-Cliqq allows you the option of a floating
tooltip -instantly updating as you digitize.There is no frustration of looking
for status bar info, so your eyes can be where they need to be without any
focal split in concentration..info on the fly! I-Cliqq visual aids operate
on peripheral vision meaning that you'll see and be aware of visual information,
without you focusing directly on individual information bits, so you'll find
the workspace more comfortable, and because you see the info you need to see
at a glance, this results in overall less eyestrain. Measuring onscreen shows
you inches and millimeters.
•As
you move or select objects, you'll see the pallette highlight on the specific
color in the sequence. Since I-Cliqq shows you only the colors in active use,
you never see unnecessary colors. The color palette works interactively with
color/object selections so just clicking a color on the pallette selects it
for you. Object outline colors can be customised for work purposes, for instance
you may work in pallette 'thread' color red, but you may prefer your path
outline to display as 'white' if working on a dark image. You can simply select
the preferred outline color so that you can see clear outlines when working,
and the stitch generation will still display in red.
•I-Cliqq's
drag drop swap capabilities extend throughout the software making changes
to color sequences simple,and object related tasks even simpler. Besides the
handy object information tooltips,and ability to resize the object manager...and
even show/hide/resize the color manager, you can just press key F9 and toggle
between fullscreen digitizing mode,and normal screen mode. Fullscreen mode
shows only your cursor,and objects currently being digitized in the current
selected stitchtype mode. This is quite handy if you have a smaller type monitor,
or if your really want to see nothing else except the section you're working
on. Switch between modes at the tap of a key!
•I-Cliqq's
Object HIGHLIGHT feature,which can be turned off/on shows you pertinent object
information on a mouseover.You'll see the object highlight as you mouseover
allowing you to see active and current realtime info on any highlighted object.
•I-Cliqq
allows you to slice and dice objects. Similar stitchtype objects can also
be joined to create single objects.
•I-Cliqq
offers you 4 'stitch input' methods : interchangeable, at any time during
the digitizing process.This is just a matter of convenience for digitizers.
Most prefer using a single method, but I-Cliqq has incorporated the most popular.
Edit nodes while digitizing, or even change the current parameters. If you
happen to terminate input, you can simply continue by pressing the 'Extend
Path' button, and continue digitizing retaining the single object nature.
•I-Cliqq
'Split from Node' - Right Clicking on any node will open a flyout menu with
a list of functions that can be applied. What is not possible in that circumstance,
will view as 'greyed out' text. As you work with the software , you'll realise
that you can perform similar tasks in a variety of ways. You can also 'add'
a node to any specific stitch point to split the path at that point. As shown
above, you can also cut or join objects.
•I-Cliqq
allows you the most effective way to work on light/dark imaging so you'll
see that your nodes effectively change to maximum visibility.You can also
set your outline (path) color in one of 3 modes. This does not affect your
chosen 'thread' color display and is only active in the shape creation. Pasted
or imported vectors appear with the same node capability of I-Cliqq, allowing
you unlimited manipulation capability.
•I-Cliqq
Fancy Fills and Motifs
With
over 65 Fills and 140 onboard motifs just for starters, I-Cliqq gives you
the magic of unlimited power. The fills can be modified in 3 levels of combination
splits with the ability to modify the pattern sizes and angles - You also
get to create custom fill shapes. Motif creation is similar in capability,
with editable parameters - You can also create custom motifs. If this is
a niche market for you, all we can say is - I-Cliqq gives you the power!
Your creation ability is unlimited if you multiply the parameter change
possibilities, excluding your own custom creations.
•I-Cliqq
features 90 pre-digitized keyboard fonts in English characters, besides the
growing selection of additional language fonts. The software incudes a minimum
of 15 popular base envelopes that can be applied to text. In addition to this,
you can also create custom envelopes for specific tasks. You can also change
fontstyles while text is enveloped, or edit the envelopes for specific effects...Updated
text is regenerated with your changes applied. As is the nature of embroidery,
conversion possibilities have to be applied with discretion. The TTF conversion
capability allows you an unlimited selection of font capability. Numerous
outline style and tatami fill effects can be applied to TTF styled lettering.

can be instantly converted into sequin lettering. I-Cliqq Professional also
allows the creation of custom keyboard fonts. I-Cliqq gives you capabilities,
to make you the envy of your competitors. Create text baselines from any vector
as you need. The I-Cliqq Lettering capability features world class manipulation
capability. Comment from an industry professional : '' WOW! I thought I'd
seen the best lettering manipulation capability on the globe until I saw this
..when you said its just V1.0 I admit I didn't remotely think it was remotely
capable of what I just saw! I can't wait to see more !!''
•I-Cliqq
