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_v73.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 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).

Changes you’ll find in version 69:

Added support for the iPad Air M3 11 & 13 inch and for the iPad 11 (A16).
Added support for the NovaChat 5.3.
Added support for the TobiiDynavox I-16.
Added support for the Via Pro, Via Nano, and Via Mini.
Added support for the NovaChat 10.7, which uses a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 – probably…
Modified the behavior of edge compensation to be measured from the edge of the keyguard rather than the edge of the screen.
Modified the behavior of the rridge shape so that it is anchored in the lower-left corner and introduced the crridge shape that is anchored at its center.
Fixed a bug that caused the grid not to respond properly to edge compensation settings.
Added support for “engraving” any of the basic shapes into the underside of a keyguard to support the NovaChat 5.3.
Added the ability to hide the grid area to help with setting padding values based on a screenshot.
Changed the keyguard designer’s behavior to prevent cells from overlapping each other because of the specified cell height/width and the specified number of rows/columns. Now, the designer will limit the height and width of a cell opening so that there will always be a small rail around the cell.
