Release Notes

Onscreen Manual
Introduction
Welcome to Wilcom DesignWorkflow e2.0. DesignWorkflow e2.0 is a powerful,
multi-user SQL database system for Multihead and Schiffli embroidery designers
and manufacturers, as well as screen printers. It is designed to efficiently store,
organize, protect, and better utilize your design collection. Based on Microsoft
SQL database software and Windows 2000/NT network servers, it provides
robust, reliable storage for all your design information. DesignWorkflow e2.0
also provides a powerful foundation for complete ‘enterprise solutions’.

DesignWorkflow e2.0 is no longer provided as a standard option for Wilcom

Embroidery Software 2.0 although it continues to fully support all versions of the
EMB file format, including Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0.
DesignWorkflow e2.0 is available in three product models—DW Professional,
DW Color Up, and DW Viewer. These models are designed for different
departments and roles within the company and are priced according to product
functionality. See below for details.
The main focus of development for this release has been to address customers’
enhancement requests and make the product more flexible and easier to
implement and use. The e2.0 release will satisfy any need customers have to
improve workflow tracking and control of designs, as well as improve
communications with their customers.
Another area of improvement has been with the inclusion of support for
additional graphic files for screen printing as well as embroidery design.
DesignWorkflow e2.0 now supports most images used within the screen
printing industry. It can thus be used as an asset management system by both
embroidery and screen printing companies.

Note A set of onscreen Release Notes is available via the DesignWorkflow e2.0
Help menu. These provide complete feature descriptions as well as links to
related procedures in the onscreen Instruction Book.

Introduc tion 1
Product models
DesignWorkflow e2.0 is now available in three levels, designed for different
departments and roles within the company and priced according to product
functionality:

Level Description
DW Professional This model is the top-of-the-range asset management tool for
designers and machine operators. The product interacts seamlessly
with your embroidery and screen print applications to allow designers
to record new design content for the organization. Your embroidery
production staff can also utilize the inbuilt Machine Manager software
for direct connection and monitoring of most embroidery machines.
DW Color Up With this model, non-digitizing staff can modify design colorways
directly. This puts colorway control in the hands of customer-service
staff without the requirement for a full DW Professional system.
DW Color Up is specifically designed for staff who need to be able to
add colorways to designs for either sales or color coordinating
purposes.
DW Viewer This model has been designed around customer service tasks,
enabling order entry and sales staff to make design requests, view
design information and print catalogs. Email is standard in this level of
product so that when a design is ready for approval, customer service
staff can email design information direct to the customer. Use
DW Viewer to create customer catalogs of your designs. It also
provides management efficiency reports needed to run a tight design
process.

All products can be purchased as standalone items. DW Professional can also be

purchased as an option to any Wilcom ES product other than Truesizer. If
purchased standalone, the base level Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0 product
is included with the package.

Note All purchases of DesignWorkflow e2.0, whether new or update, are

shipped with a USB type dongle. When upgrading your software, you may need
to perform a dongle update from parallel to USB dongle.

System security
Wilcom DesignWorkflow© e2.0 is controlled by a
security device or ‘dongle’ attached to the
computer. The software will not work properly if the
dongle is unplugged from the computer while
Wilcom DesignWorkflow© e2.0 is open. In the
event, the application may hang or crash and any
open files may be corrupted. Each dongle has a
unique serial number and identity code so your
system can be uniquely recognized. Security codes
enable access to features within the software. You
need to be able to identify your system’s access
codes, and enter new codes for upgrades. When updating or upgrading your
software, you re-program your dongle by entering access codes via the
software.

Wi lcom Des ignWorkfl ow© e2.0 Rel ease Notes 2

 Caution The dongle is the most important and valuable part of your system and
should be treated with care. Always store it in a safe place when it is not in use.
Wilcom Pty Ltd guarantees the dongle against defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service when properly installed, for a period
of 12 months from the date of delivery. If it is faulty, it may be exchanged. If it
is physically damaged, it can be sent to Wilcom and a replacement purchased
for the cost of the dongle alone. However, in case of loss or theft, you will need
to purchase an entire Wilcom DesignWorkflow© e2.0 replacement system. For
this reason, you should consider insuring your dongle.
Since all product models use the Wilcom ES security system, they must
therefore run an instance of Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0 concurrently with
DesignWorkflow e2.0. If Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0 is not already
running when DesignWorkflow e2.0 is launched, it is automatically launched as
well.
Security codes enable access to features within the software. You need to be
able to identify your system’s access codes, and enter new codes for upgrades.
When updating or upgrading your software, you re-program your dongle by
entering access codes via the software.

Note You can set up user logons with up to five security levels. Secure your
designs so unauthorized staff cannot access or modify them.

Product kit
Wilcom DesignWorkflow e2.0 is produced in a single kit. This includes the
full-featured version of DesignWorkflow e2.0 together with a minimal
installation of Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0.

DesignWorkflow e2.0 software CD

The DesignWorkflow e2.0 software CD includes software for all four basic
installation types—Server, Client, Standalone, and
Administration—together with a minimal installation of Wilcom Embroidery
Software 2.0. It also includes the Microsoft MSDE runtime SQL database system
as standard.

Note MSDE does not allow more than five (5) concurrent users. If you are
intending to provide access to more concurrent users, you will need to purchase
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 software.

Wilcom DesignWorkflow e2.0 User Manual

DesignWorkflow e2.0 has an associated User Manual. This is provided both in
printed form and as an electronic ‘onscreen’ manual. This manual documents the

Embroidery clipart integration

The new Embroidery Clipart feature in Wilcom Embroidery
Software 2.0 is a powerful productivity tool which makes whole
designs and design fragments easily available. It allows
digitizers to recycle commonly used design elements and
greatly speeds up the process of creating new designs.
You use the clipart library to permanently store useful
embroidery elements and assign keywords to them. The library
displays all design elements currently recorded to a personal
database. Behind this functionality is the Microsoft Data Engine
or MSDE. Used in conjunction with DesignWorkflow e2.0, the
clipart library allows sharing of embroidery elements among
multiple users.
DesignWorkflow e2.0 supports the new EMC file format that is
used with clipart files. DW systems that have the clipart feature
enabled can view clipart files. The process for recording them is
similar to EMB except that the system cannot create stitch files
from clipart files, nor image files.

Improved features in DesignWorkflow e2.0

DesignWorkflow e2.0 contains the following improved features:

Improved associated file handling

DesignWorkflow e2.0 provides improved handling of associated files. Attach
secondary files to the design record, in addition to the request record, so they
can all be accessed from the one location. You have the option of either moving
or copying attachment files to the database. Include original artwork used in the
creation of the embroidery design together with details such as file name,
comments, date saved, etc. In fact any associated files can be attached,

Improved features in DesignWorkflow e2.0 7

including scanned images of the actual design stitch out or ‘swatch’. See Adding
attachments to design records in the Onscreen Manual for details.

Click to add
attachment to
record

Use the Add button to add attachments to the record or simply drag and drop
files from MS Explorer or the Windows desktop directly into the Attachments
tab. This is useful when capturing design information such as emails which
record design approvals. The user who records the attachment is automatically
logged together with the date. Only the person who attaches the document as
well as Level 5 users can remove them from the Attachments tab.
Where DesignWorkflow e2.0 is able to read the attachment file, it displays a
preview presentation, including AVI movie files. Where it is not able to read the
attachment file, it shows the standard Windows-associated logo for that file
type. See also Image file support.

Improved database installation

A new DesignWorkflow e2.0 database installation wizard guides you through
the process of setting up databases for standalone and multi-user setups. See
Setting up blank or pre-formatted databases in the Onscreen Manual for details.

Select required
database type

Three database types are available:

 Predefined catalogs: installs predefined catalog lists which you can use as a
basis to start cataloging your designs.

Wi lcom Des ignWorkfl ow© e2.0 Rel ease Notes 8

 Sample database: contains more than 100 designs, already categorized and
ready-to-use. We recommend that you install the sample database in order
to familiarize yourself with DesignWorkflow e2.0 operations.
 Blank: choose this option if you want to define your own catalog lists from
scratch.

Note The main aim of the installation improvements is to keep the MDAC
connection agent up to date with the latest releases available to the market.

Store multiple garment colors with individual colorways

DesignWorkflow e2.0 now allows you to assign multiple fabric colors to
individual colorways. Once a design has been created and recorded to the
database, you can add this information directly to the colorway. See Assigning
multiple fabric colors to colorways in the Onscreen Manual for details.

Click to assign

colors

Sequin summary information included

DesignWorkflow e2.0 now includes Sequin information in the Sewing
Instructions tab, including number, size, count and name of the sequins.

Duplicate content from a design request

DesignWorkflow e2.0 now allows you to duplicate a design request, for
example, when you are using the same logo but need several sizes. The
Duplicate option is available from the popup menu which is invoked when you
right-click an existing design request. This creates a new record with a new

Image file support

DesignWorkflow e2.0 now reads and provides thumbnails of all image file
formats supported in the Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0 system. With this
enhanced image file support, users can view image files without having to install
the expensive graphic packages usually required. Digitizers can thereby convert
exotic graphic files into PNG format which Wilcom Embroidery Software 2.0 can
load. This means the necessary graphics conversions can be performed as part
of the design request workflow.

Improved features in DesignWorkflow e2.0 11

In addition, DesignWorkflow e2.0 now supports most images used within the
screen printing industry including PDF, JPEG2000, EMF, WMF and EPS file
formats. DesignWorkflow e2.0 can thus be used as an asset management
system by both embroidery and screen printing companies.

Recording image files

DesignWorkflow e2.0 allows users to record image files to the database if they
have the correct security privileges. Recording an image file works the same way
with the new file types as in previous versions. The image being recorded is
copied or moved to the database location, or left in its current position, as
dictated by the Administrator settings. In addition, when an image is recorded
to the database or attached to a Design Request, a full scale PNG file is created
and associated with the record. This image is made available in place of the
original when viewing the image in the attachment and/or TrueView tab.

Note If you record an embroidery file that has the same name as an existing
artwork file, the system updates the record within the embroidery information
and moves the original artwork file to the Attachments tab. In addition, the
thumbnail is updated to reflect the new embroidery file.

Movie file support

When an attached artwork file is a movie, the system enables a Play button in
the Attachments tab. Click to view it in the preview panel.

Supported image file types

DesignWorkflow e2.0 now supports many more image file types. (See onscreen

Known limitations in e2.0

The following are known limitations in DesignWorkflow e2.0.

Connecting with V7.x databases

If you are attempting to connect to a database that was created in a previous
version of DesignWorkflow e2.0, you should first run the Update Schema

Known l imi tatio ns in e 2.0 15

command. This will update the table structure and avoid any error messages.
See the DesignWorkflow e2.0 User Manual for details.

Installing e2.0 to a drive other than C:

The sample databases for DesignWorkflow e2.0 and Clipart need to be installed
to C: drive. This sometimes means that when installing e2.0 to a drive other
than C:, an error message appears stating that there is not enough space and
the software cannot be installed. The is caused by the fact there is not enough
space on the C: drive to install the sample databases. You will need a minimum
of 30 MB for this.
