Link tooltips

Designs created with T6:MB Hoop78×168 for MB-4
Previously, designs created with T6:MB Hoop78×168 for MB-4 were changed to M1 when output to the Janome machine. After a design was moved to the top of the hoop and saved, the hoop type changed to M1. This problem too has been rectified.
File Manager dialog for some machines
Previously, the software displayed the incorrect File Manager dialog for certain machines, namely:
- MC14000 / eXpressive920
- セシオ14000 / HC1500
The dialog has been updated to be the same as the MC15000 machine.
Machine dialog appearing in Japanese
Previously, when you attempted to write a design to a PCMCIA Card or USB stick, the Write a Design message appeared in Japanese. The issue only occurred when certain machine models were selected as the current machine type. This issue has been rectified.
Object editing updates
The Janome V5 Update 2 provides the following improvements in object editing.
Using the Context toolbar as a flyout
A number of problems have been reported when using the Context toolbar as a flyout...
- Objects could not be moved under certain circumstances using arrow keys (Up, Down, Right, Left). Namely, after an object angle was changed when using the Context toolbar as a flyout. This problem has been rectified.
- Similarly, object position and size could not be numerically changed when using the Context toolbar as a flyout. This problem too has been rectified.
Resequence dialog selections
Similar to the above problems, objects selected in the Resequence dialog could not be moved using arrow keys (Up, Down, Right, Left). This problem has been rectified.
Color change updates
The Janome V5 Update 2 resolves some color change issues.
Changing colors
Previously, it became problematic to change colors with a minimized Design Palette in certain circumstances. Namely, when only 'Current Color', 'Pick Color', and 'Apply Color' buttons were displayed. This problem has been rectified.
Color number on 862 machine
Previously, the color number was not being displayed correctly on the 862 machine when the thread type was set to 'Madeira PolyNeon 40'. This problem has been rectified.
Color change to '1/Janome 202'
Previously, colors could not be changed to '1/Janome 202' when an object was selected in the Resequence docker. This problem has been rectified.
Japanese language updates
The Janome V5 Update 2 resolves some Japanese language issues.
- A Japanese translation of user documentation is now available.
- Previously, the License Agreement was displayed in English on a Japanese installation. This problem has been rectified.
