Hello all,

Upadate build 6.14 had a problem drafting yoked pants patterns. Over the weekend, we released a patch to correct that, but it had a problem saving pattern files. We have now posted a patch that corrects both issues, along with a couple other issues reported over the weekend.

The patch can be found at:

DS6.14 Patch

This is a self-extracting zip file that will install to the default Dress Shop folder location. So, if you have Dress Shop installed elsewhere, you will need to specify that when you unzip this.

I had presumed that the failure to save was a DLL registration issue, requiring an InstallShield install to correct. That was mistaken. We tracked down the real culprit, fixed it and had it test out.

The full list of changes appears below. Thanks to all that reported this and helped us track down what was going on.

Build 6.1a was released on November 21, 2005 with the following changes:

1. It was not possible to remove the bust dart from a fitted shell.

2. The pants yoke was not drafting properly after the 6.14 update.

3. More cases where little girl illustrations were not showing proper art have been corrected.

4. It was found that the change to the back pants hip curve (see item #8 in the 6.14 update list) made Ab Averaging undesirable in some cases. For those users Ab Averaging should be turned off now. To make this simpler long term, Ab Averaging is now retained as a setting. Do it once and it is saved until you change it.
