What DRAWings PRO XII is

DRAWings PRO XII is graphics and production software for embroidery, textile and screen printing, computerized quilting, cut and stencil crafting, and fabric painting. It runs on macOS and Windows, imports vector and bitmap graphics, and exports designs in embroidery formats for a range of machines. Tools include automatic scaling to fit designs within a hoop, stitch-density adjustment within a 25% range, auto-digitizing, stitch simulation, and appliqué features. Version XII adds a patent-pending Sketch stitch engine, support for more machine models and hoop sizes, and printouts with barcodes that compatible embroidery machines can scan to load designs. Those printouts can include design information, stitch count, and color-change data. The package includes 204 embroidery-ready clipart items, 147 cut vector designs, and more than 3,000 embroidery designs. Designs can be copied from CorelDRAW or imported as exported CMX files, though DRAW-Stitch functionality is not available in this version. The full downloadable package costs $2,199, paid once; upgrades are listed at $399, paid once and $799, paid once for the respective earlier product lines. A free trial is available after submitting an evaluation form and receiving approval.
