Boost Your Productivity with Shaping Tools
In the fast-paced world of digitizing, productivity is key. The Shaping Tool in EmbroideryStudio Digital Edition Designing is a hidden gem that can significantly enhance design efficiency.
This tool provides options for welding, combining, intersecting, excluding, flattening, and dividing.

8 powerful Shaping tools with additional overlap control.
Explore Shape Manipulation
Look at digitization differently and view designs as a series of individual shapes that come together to create the whole.
The Shaping Tool empowers digitizers to seamlessly combine multiple closed shapes into one single object, to which any stitch type or effect can be easily applied.
The Shaping Tool enhances digitizing with effortless shape creation, boosting productivity.

Tip: Easily edit your designs using the convenient ‘spacebar’ shortcut to swiftly toggle the re-shape nodes from curved to straight.
Seamless Integration with the
Basic Shapes Gallery
The Shaping Tool works seamlessly with other software features, especially the vector shapes in the Basic Shapes Gallery. This collaboration provides a wide range of shape options, allowing designers to experiment with various combinations and configurations to achieve the precise shapes required.
A wider array of shape creations are possible when combined with shapes in the Basic Shapes Gallery!

Digitizers are free to explore their creativity more deeply, developing exceptional logo designs that make a lasting impression!
