What to Expect When Updating to FrameShop 7x from FrameShop 4x

FrameShop 7x has an extensive list of new features that you will find useful along with some exciting changes.

The biggest change is that FrameShop has gone from a database-based system to a file-based system. This gives you easier access to files on your computer or other accessible drives. Instead of trying to navigate through a database to find the project you’re looking for, it will be as easy as opening the desired computer folder and selecting the design.

Below is a list of new features to help you familiarize yourself with these new functions.

The Configurations Screen has been updated to include the new 45° Front Cartridge Configurations.

The Configuration Screen now has a new access feature which allows users to click on a specific cut’s Backup/Overcut on the Cut Preview Screen and have it open directly to the appropriate field in the Configurations Screen, making troubleshooting much easier.
