Updates to connection modals

We’ve updated text and behavior of connection modals on the Prepare and Make screens.

On Prepare screen:

Right click menu revamp

The right click menu has been optimized, with tools in sections that make sense, so it’s easier to find what you’re looking for.

1. Adaptive Actions: Displays smart, situation-specific tools to speed up editing.
2. Foundational Actions: Provides essential, frequently used quick edit commands that you expect to find in the right click menu. Some tools in this section will always be there; others are dynamic based on the actions that are possible with the objects that are selected.
3. Reserved Actions: Places less-used, advanced, or potentially high-impact tools in a place where one is less likely to active them accidentally.

Examples:

  

Single-layer text selected             Multi-layer text selected

Group of multiple objects

 

Auto-Mirror added to Prepare screen in T-Shirt Flow

With this update, we will automatically toggle “Mirror” on when the user is on the mat preview, rather than waiting until a heat-transfer material setting is selected.

This Design Space for Desktop release (v9.47) includes backend improvements and the following features and fixes.  

Multi-window connection management

If your machine is already connected to Design Space in one window, and you try to connect your machine in another Design Space window, you’ll see the message “Connection Already in Use.” To switch the connection to this new window, click Continue. Your machine will automatically disconnect from the previous window.

 

Chatbot bubble placement

We’ve adjusted Chatbot so it will remain in the bottom right corner of the screen and is no longer movable. When needed, it will move up or left to not overlap any buttons.  

 

Layers panel update

With this update, users can select multiple layers in the Layers panel and drag and drop them to the top, bottom, middle, or any other position in the list, with one exception: Users cannot drag and drop layers into a Sticker layer. However, any objects within a Sticker layer may be dragged and dropped outside of the Sticker group.

Merge Sticker  

This new feature allows users to quickly join 2 or more objects into a single sticker (one of the selected objects must already be a sticker). Merge Sticker is available for all Canvas types. After a Merge action has been completed, the stickers will be placed under a “Sticker” parent layer in the Layers panel.  

 

Merge Sticker in Top Toolbar

Because Merge Sticker is accessed in the Shortcut Toolbar, but Shortcut Toolbar is not yet rolled out to all users, we’ve added Merge Sticker to the top toolbar.  

 

Added troubleshooting help to Machine Picker for Connection Failed states

We’ve added a new troubleshooting link which navigates users to help.cricut.com when the machine cannot connect.
