Hi Nancy, I heard from the programmer this evening - he told me that he'd found your emails to him.they had ended up in his spam box!!! However, as you've found the trick of selecting lines and I hope my explanations about editing smooth curves have helped, I don't think we need bother him

This is a warning to all owners of Lace8. Please do NOT install the upgrade to Version 1.0.0.51. There is a major glitch in that version which means that you would be unable to edit most of your files. Most of you would not need to use the function which that version contained anyway,

Re: [lace] Lace8 bummer

I've had others look at the programme with a view to using it for tatting, but they've quickly decided not! The programmer feels that the small potential market doesn't make it worthwhile for him to offer two versions and in other countries, Windows based computers are still more usual.

One simple thing I find very useful in Lace8, which I don't think is in earlier versions, is the ability to have a picture/photo on the page along with a pricking. The resize of a background image is also very much easier - instead of putting in measurements, you just drag handles. When I'm

I've solved the problem I had with selecting items in Lace8 for designs done in Lace R-XP. Don't know what was going on with not selecting the dots, but that's all OK now and they're being selected each time I ask. The problem with other items was because the squares that show an item has

Hi All   Lace8 is great - if you  haven't upgraded and have a computer that is compatibly buy it now if only for the new print preveiw option.  There are lots of other new features, some of which I like and some not so much but the print preview is wonderful.  Gone are the days when you have to

Has the re-do button been re-instated? I understand this was in the first version but is missing from R-XP. Annoying when you have drawn in a long trail and the lose the rhythm and go wrong. Hit undo instead of item select, delete. Those of you that use the programme will know that undo

No, that has been possible - back to .lc5 files anyway. I couldn't track down my .lc1 files to try out. They now get saved as .lc8, so you will need Lace8 to open any of the files saved as .lc8. You can't share them with R-XP users for instance Sue sueba...@comcast.net -Original
