You can obtain the latest keyguard designer (and the openings_and_additions.txt file) here, along with a complete list of all changes made to the software. 

If you’re upgrading from a previous version of the keyguard designer, change the name of your JSON file from keyguard_v??.json to keyguard_v74.json, and the designer will automatically load all your previously saved Presets when launched.

The key changes are described below.

Changes you’ll find in version 74:

• Fixed bug that prevented engraved/embossed text from working with split keyguards.
• Moved case measurements from Clip-on Straps Info section to the Case Info section.
• Moved “unequal side” case measurements from Clip-on Straps Info section to the Special Actions and Settings” section.
• Changed name of “starting height” in Raised Tabs Info” section to “raised tabs starting height”.
• Added the ability to add a ramped edge to the keyguard as an option for mounting in a typical screen protector with sloping edges.

Changes you’ll find in version 73:

• Reworked the case_addition shapes so that “-” shapes are focused entirely on removing plastic.
• Removed the Accent 800 tablet and replaced it with the Accent 800-30 and Accent 800-40.
• Fixed bug where older Profiles reported untouched vector input as changes to the default profile.
• Added a “Maker World” flag to allow for 2-dimensional screenshots when run locally to prevent CGAL error.

Changes you’ll find in version 72:

• Added support for laser-cut text on laser-cut keyguards.
• Fixed bug associated with engraving/embossing text in the case region.
• Fixed bug that ignored case additions when the screen region was hidden.
• Modified the program so it’s usable on the Maker World website – in “lite” form.
• Inputs no longer have to be enclosed in square brackets.
• A screenshot file must now be named “default.svg” in order to import into the designer (a Maker World requirement).
• Fixed a bug that allowed tablet openings to appear sloped when the type of keyguard is Laser-Cut.

Changes you’ll find in version 71:

• Added support for an OPTIONAL “tablet_openings” data structure to the openings_and_additions.txt file.
• Added basic support for the Smartbox Grid Pad 10s, 15, and Touch Pad.
• Added basic support for the Surface Go 2, 3, and 4.

Changes you’ll find in version 70:

• Removed support for recommending pre-version 66 Customizer changes in the Console pane.   If you are upgrading from a version prior to version 66 and have lots of designs, contact us so we can upgrade your JSON file.
• Modified the definition of dovetails for split keyguards and frames to support choosing a specific dovetail size and adjusting their location.
• Removed the “swap camera and home button option” in the Tablet section and replaced it with a “rotate tablet 180 degrees” option, which allows for tablets with unequal borders to be rotated without changing the standard tablet data.
• Added support for keyguards without cases requiring different corner radii in different corners (e.g., the Tobii I-Series 16 device).
