retina_engrave_logo_re3

RetinaEngrave 3.0 announces version 1.7 is now available for Muse hobby laser operators. Thank you for your support as we continue to make your user experience the best in the business. 

Version 1.7 Key Highlights:

  • png/bmp/jpg/pdf/svg import and pre-job processing are now much faster (at least 2x, and as much as 4x)
  • Introduce direct AI file import.
  • Implement "reverse raster" option by popular request.
  • Fix multiple sources of "Whoops" errors.
  • Implement on-demand loading for all projects other than primary. This decreases page load time when loading workspaces with multiple large projects.
  • Update the web page from the backend only when necessary (instead of a fixed interval of multiple times per second) This decreases network load and improves browser responsiveness, especially on lower power or budget computers.
  • When importing pdf/svg, select the containing folder after import so that clicking on the item and re-positioning applies to both raster and vector.
  • Use the latest version of all framework libraries. (speed and reliability improvements)
  • Remembers project order when reloading a workspace.
