Hey Everyone. The more time goes by the more of us are choosing to telecomute or allow telecomuting as a business practice for our employees, as is the case for my business.
It's come to my recent attention that Wilcom's Truesizer (a file viewer, not digitizing software, also a free download to anyone) will not function under Remote Desktop, a common, standard Windows program and one we rely on to telecommute.
For some time I have scratched my head as to why it wouldn't work when I log in to my work computer from home using Remote desktop, so after calling Wilcom's Tech support the answer is "there's no way".
Some mornings I myself might stay home to watch my son while my wife is working, at the same time I can still email clients, respond to price quotes and questions from home.
Can I give embroidery quotes?
NOPE!
Why? Because of Wilcom's rigid anti-piracy code written into the software, not even the viewer will function under RD. Anyone in this business knows that Truesizer is not enough to do business with alone. You really need a full on designer (i.e. ES-45 or simular digitizing package) to run a business, duh.
So what gives? I can't open my embroidery designs just to verify colors/stitch counts when I'm at home?? This impedes the flow of business and is short-sighted in my opinion.
I urge Wilcom (if you're reading this) to reconsider opening the viewer (Truesizer) to function under Remote Desktop.
