Digital Art Solutions invented the process of creating rhinestone heat transfers with a vinyl cutter. We were the first company to introduce this process to the market. Our technique has become the world-wide standard for producing rhinestone templates with a cutter. Since the introduction of our Rhinestone System, we recognized that a key to our system was user-friendly, yet powerful software. Producing rhinestone designs can be a time- consuming and tedious process. We have focused our development of StoneCut Pro on automating and simplifying the process of designing, preparing and outputting multi-decoration graphics.

Digital Art Solutions is not an imitator, we are the innovator. Owners of StoneCut Pro enjoy the most technologically advanced multi-decoration software on the planet.

StoneCut Pro is a professional software tool for commercial design and production. It is not price-point software for the craft or scrapbooking marketplace. It is not underpowered software licensed by an equipment manufacturer for the purpose of selling equipment. It is not a sign making software with a feature for creating a circle pattern around vector objects. It is a multi-decoration software platform built for the express purpose of the commercial production of rhinestone apparel, rhinestone decals, vinyl graphics and multi-decoration apparel. This is not bare bones software designed around an attractive price point.

StoneCut Pro is a professional software tool that is an integral part of the Digital Art Solutions Rhinestone System. Digital Art Solutions has given our Rhinestone System owners a rhinestone apparel business, not just a rhinestone apparel capability. We have worked tirelessly to improve and perfect the process of creating rhinestone and multi-decoration apparel. Every member of our staff from our support team to our accounting team is involved in this process. There is not a person in our organization that cannot design and produce a rhinestone decorated T-shirt. From top to bottom, our team knows what they are doing.

We now have over 2,000 owners of our Rhinestone System. Our greatest source of research and development comes from our owners. Our owners know what works in a real world production environment. We have taken this feedback and enhanced the feature set and performance of StoneCut Pro. No other company in the industry is more committed to multi-decoration software than Digital Art Solutions. StoneCut Pro can be operated as a stand-alone graphics application or integrated with CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator. The software contains the essential core of design and production tools for creating graphics from the ground up.

When StoneCut Pro is installed on a system with CorelDRAW or Illustrator, a special toolbar is added to either program. This toolbar will enable the user to automatically transfer graphics to StoneCut Pro.

The toolbar also contains special features for a print and cut workflow in CorelDRAW or Illustrator. The user can set up and output the printed graphic in CorelDRAW or Illustrator to a printer and contour cut the graphic using StoneCut Pro and a vinyl cutter.

We understand the process of designing and producing rhinestone patterns. The feature set in StoneCut Pro has been designed based on real-world practical experience. We are not guessing about the most efficient way to create a rhinestone pattern. Our staff has created hundreds of rhinestone patterns using the previous generation of software, SmartCut Pro 2.0. The experience gained by this process has allowed us to create a set of tools that fully automates the design process for creating rhinestone patterns.

Using our set of powerful tools, complex patterns can be easily created with both outlined and filled patterns. StoneCut Pro has the best feature set in the industry for efficiently designing rhinestone patterns. The key to a successful rhinestone business is workflow. The most expensive period for anyone engaged in the sale of rhinestone apparel is the time from when the order is taken until the item is produced. We have focused our development on workflow.

Our owners have a tremendous competitive advantage because they have the most efficient and automated design and production features in the industry. By streamlining workflow, our owners are able to design and produce rhinestone and multi-decoration apparel in a fraction of the time it takes their competitors with other software. We understand workflow, and we have incorporated our expertise and experience into StoneCut Pro. StoneCut Pro takes a unique approach to editing and manipulating rhinestone patterns. We assume that every user will want to change sizes, colors, styles and shapes of hot fix elements. Our users can easily change every aspect of a rhinestone pattern. In addition, our owners are not limited to round hot fix elements.

Any shape can be incorporated into a pattern. When a design is resized, the hot fix elements do not change size and spacing is adjusted dynamically. Unlike other programs, the user is not required to edit and maintain a rhinestone library to change styles, colors or sizes. Users can select a color or size and make changes simply by selecting a new color, shape or size. A huge part of rhinestone apparel production is working with text. Owners of StoneCut Pro have access to over 50 exclusive Rhinestone Fonts.

This means that a user can type in text and the font is already composed of a rhinestone pattern. The stones in each letter are precisely aligned and adjusted to create perfect rhinestone text. Different sized fonts are provided with different stone densities to give the user complete control of the size of the text. Our competitors claim to have rhinestone fonts; in fact they have “rhinestone ready” single line engraving fonts that can be converted into rhinestone patterns. This means every character must be manually adjusted. There is a big difference between typing in a DAS Rhinestone Font and converting a single line font into a rhinestone pattern that must be manually adjusted.

StoneCut Pro also includes powerful tools for converting any Windows font into a rhinestone pattern. The Serialization function in StoneCut Pro enables our users to take lists of names and automatically create a single transfer sheet with all of the names using our exclusive rhinestone fonts. No other software on the market has this capability. StoneCut Pro owners have the best rhinestone text tools on the market.

One of the biggest challenges in the production of stencils with a vinyl cutter is weeding. Weeding is the process of removing the stencil from the liner sheet.

If the circles do not stick to the liner sheet, the user must remove them manually. This is normally the result of incomplete cutting of circles by the cutter. There are some adjustments that can be made on the cutter to improve weeding, but some cutters will not produce good results. Weeding dramatically increases labor and can be a very frustrating part of rhinestone transfer production.

StoneCut Pro has enhanced output features that will ensure that circles are always completed, even on cutters without a knife offset of overcut. In addition, the double cut mode will cut around each circle twice with a reduced pressure to ensure that circles are not distorted into ovals due to excessive drag on the cutter blade. StoneCut Pro owners will greatly reduce labor due to less weeding and stencils with consistently round holes. One of the most frustrating aspects of designing rhinestone patterns is overlapping or closely spaced stones.

This is normally due to complex graphics with small elements or closely spaced lines. Some software programs require manual correction of overlapping or closely spaced stones. Other software programs resolve this issue by deleting overlapping circles. This is a terrible method for correcting overlaps, as in many cases it is a simple matter of adjusting the position of two closely spaced or overlapping stones. Why delete a stone, if you are going to have to insert a new one and then manually adjust it? StoneCut Pro takes a unique approach to this problem. The software marks overlapping or closely spaced stones.

The software then creates a new stone that is a suggested replacement. All stones, including the overlapping stones, replacement stones, and stones comprising the pattern, are displayed in the Object Docker. The user can simply delete the overlaps and accept the replacements, manually reposition stones, or use a combination of replacing and re-spacing. This strategy greatly reduces editing time on complex graphics that create either fill or outline patterns. The user has the best of both worlds: manual editing and automatic adjustment. One of the unique capabilities of StoneCut Pro is the ability to take photographs or bitmaps and convert them to a rhinestone pattern.

The user has the ability to take a black and white, grayscale or colored photo and convert it to a complex rhinestone pattern with multiple sizes and colors. There is complete control over the number of stones, number of colors and size of the stones in the pattern.

The user can create a specific stone library that will limit the sizes and colors in the pattern. Colors and sizes can be easily adjusted after the conversion process. Owners of StoneCut Pro are also eligible to purchase the Digital Art Solutions Transfer Application System. The production of photographic patterns with extremely closely spaced stones is nearly impossible without the Transfer Application System. This system will enable the user to create multiple stencils for each color in the design and using a set of Smart Frames, perfectly align each color in the transfer.

This process is similar to screen printing and makes it possible to produce designs that would normally require a rhinestone setting machine. StoneCut Pro provides a comprehensive solution for producing costing reports. Each hot fix element is tracked and can be used to create a cost report.

Instead of maintaining a huge library of sizes and colors, costs are divided into pricing groups, manufactures, sizes and colors. In other words, you don’t have to edit 50 colors if you change a price. You simply select a pricing group such as Clear, Pink, AB or Colors. Instead of changing 50 items, you can change four to update a price or manufacturer. You can also create new lists of suppliers as well as create both retail and wholesale price lists.
