 SPECTRUM
PATTERNS...
...GO DIGITAL
Glass Eye 2000 has become the industry
standard in stained glass design software, and
we have chosen their .eye digital format for
Spectrum Patterns-of-the-Month. Nearly 100
free Spectrum Patterns-of-the Month are now
available as Glass Eye 2000 files. (All patterns will still be offered
as PDF files.) Check it out in the Free Patterns section of the Spectrum
website (www.spectrumglass.com). Glass Eye 2000 software is designed to
create and work with stained glass patterns. With it you can see, in an
instant, the effects of using different glass or various lead widths;
you can resize designs to any dimension, add piece numbers and color
codes, calculate materials needs, and much more. The capabilities are
amazing. Without even going near the drawing tools, you could sit for
hours just changing colors in the patterns that come included. We’ve
been telling you how great the program is—and we’re hearing the same
thing from folks all over who have tried it.
Just this morning a sweet voice from Utah told us how a project she’d
been mulling over for four years crossed the line into reality because
of Glass Eye 2000.With her trial version of the program loaded into her
computer, she drew out the pattern, filled in her glass choices and
printed it to scale—all in about two hours. By taping it to the outside
of her hexagonal window she could see exactly how it would look when
finished and now had the motivation she needed to sit down and cut some
glass. Of course, she changed her mind on a few of the glasses she’d
selected—but without wasting a scrap!
Glass Eye 2000 is available for a free 30-day trial. (Even after the
trial version expires, you can continue to use the patterns included in
the program as well as ones you download from our site.) The Dragonfly
website (www.dfly.com) has complete information.•
