New Features
- Graphic blocks β Offer ready-made design templates built from several image and text layers. Customers add a whole block with one click or by dragging it onto the canvas, then edit each layer individually β also in the Order Viewer. A block is priced once through the Surcharge of its category rules (pricing rules count it as one element), and the category's "Replace element" rule swaps a whole block for the graphic or block in the same slot. Blocks use regular elements, so print-ready exports, fonts and colors work unchanged.
- Graphic block editor β Build blocks in the Graphics page with a live editor at the product's stage size, a one-click "Fit to stage" for oversized blocks and an automatically generated thumbnail you can override with your own.
- Exclude print areas from export β A new "Exclude from export" toggle in the Product Builder keeps a print area fully editable for customers but produces no separate print file for it; its artwork prints inside the enclosing print area's file. The Order Viewer labels these areas "Design only β not exported" and explains when an order has nothing to export.
- One print file per Names & Numbers entry β Orders with a Names & Numbers roster export a separate print-ready file for every entry, plus a roster sheet.
Improvements
- Failed exports show the reason β The Orders list tells you why a print-ready export failed.
- Typing in number fields β Every number field in the admin accepts partial and decimal input while you type.
- Always-fresh assets during development β Define
CHAMEVO_DEV_ASSETS(or use thechamevo_dev_assetsfilter) to stamp every Chamevo script and style with a fresh version, so browsers never serve a stale bundle while you test changes. Production sites are unaffected.
Bug Fixes
- Enterprise and custom plans locked out of Growth features β Licenses on an enterprise or custom plan were treated like Starter, which hid the Cloud Storage and Printful export settings and the webhook URL and locked Pricing Rules and 3D Models. Every plan above Starter now gets full access.
- Color Link Group missing for single-color SVGs β The Product Builder hid the Color Link Group option for every SVG, so single-path SVG graphics could not be color-linked with other elements. The option now shows for single-path SVGs; multi-color SVGs keep it hidden because a link can carry only one color.
Core Engine
- Single undo steps for style edits β Colour, pattern, stroke, shadow and curved-text changes are each one undo step.
- Nested print areas could not be selected β A print area placed inside a larger one could never be activated by clicking, and artwork dropped onto it landed in the enclosing area. Clicking and drag-and-drop now target the smallest print area under the pointer.
- Layouts with a different stage size β Applying a layout designed for another stage size now resizes the view to it instead of shrinking it, and layouts that bring only elements keep the product's print areas.
- Masked print areas hid their placeholder β A print area with a mask no longer hides its placeholder once the mask loads.
- Hollow SVG shapes turning black β Outlined shapes without a solid fill were filled black whenever colors were re-applied β on duplicate, view switch, loading a saved design or undo. Hollow shapes now stay hollow.
