2024-12-11 | Version 8.60
This Design Space for Desktop release (v8.60) includes the following features and fixes.
Product Setup – New Test Cut
The test cut portion of New Product Setup has been updated for Cricut Maker 3, Cricut Explore 3, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Joy machines. It now introduces the Canvas and allows for customization.
Note: Currently, this update is available only when the Design Space language is set to “English.”
Bolder autocomplete suggestions
This update makes autocomplete suggestions more clear. When you type a term in the search box on Home, or through Images on the Canvas, the characters you type will appear gray, and the autocomplete suggestions will appear in bold face type.
More prominent search bar
This update puts the search bar in a more prominent position in the center of the Home page. When you begin to type a query in the search bar, it will relocate to its usual position in the top left.
Improved Project Templates
Need to make your project a specific size? From Canvas, click on Templates to expand a Templates panel next to the Canvas. Then, select your project (i.e., T-Shirt), and the specific size you’re looking for. A pink template will appear on Canvas to help you design and visualize what your final project will look like.
Text Toolbar Overlapping Content at Top of Canvas - Improvement
With this update, the Text toolbar will no longer overlap Text content near the top of the Canvas.
Starter Project Auto-populates Template
When starting a new project and choosing a project type, a template will automatically be placed on the Canvas.
Check Project/Canvas Data Integrity Before Opening
When user-saved projects have objects with missing or bad data saved in them we’ll now remove the objects with bad/missing data so the project can open, and notify the user with this message: "Missing Canvas Data. This project contained invalid layers which have been removed from the Canvas."
