Designer 3.0 includes all of the features introduced in 2.0.
Designer 3.0 was a major software rewrite that was introduced in July 2014 as an upgrade option. While maintaining the same familiar look and feel, ease of use and features of it's earlier versions, the underlying architecture of Designer 2 was rewritten to allow future features that were not possible before.
Included with Designer 2.0 & now 3.0, are these new features:
- Flow text around lines, curves, and arcs
- Bend and warp both text and patterns
- Lithophane previewer (OpenGL 2.1 or higher required)
- Project view now available in both portrait and landscape
- Preview patterns, projects, and libraries before you load them
- Text displayed on the board while you type
- Improvements to Centerline algorithms make cutting faster & cleaner (Centerline is an available advanced feature that is not included in 2.0)
- Puffing is now available to use on Raster Text (3d Pattern Modeling Suite is required and not included in 2.0)
- All registered licenses from Designer 1.XX will still work in 2.0
- Deep Carving is now available in version 2.004 (long bits required)
- With the purchased add-on, you can use Rotary software (purchase required)
Originally introduced in 2006 as the proprietary software for use with the CarveWright System, Project Designer software is as full featured and powerful as many much more expensive applications available. Since that time, LHR has provided customers with free updates and options for advanced features such as Centerline Text, Conforming Vectors, Keyhole Function, DXF & STL Importers, Vector Drawing & Pattern Modeling Suites.
Rather than being forced to purchase all of the software at once, customers are able to add only those advanced features they need and grow their system as their skill levels and project requirements necessitate. This building-block pricing structure means you can get started with very little investment and take advantage of LHR's many sales throughout the year.

All is out of Red Oak and each piece weighed somewhere around a ton. Basement shop, out the small garage door, around the house, up the steep hill, and into the house. Did I mention steep hill? After sanding the finish is Lawrence McFadden Natural Oak Gel Stain. CarveWright did one heck of a job. Great Going LHR! And the forum that kept me going and did not give up on the machine when I first got it and had to learn the curve for this particular machine.
That is a king size bed in the room.
