Welcome, everyone!
Thank you for checking out the latest Weekly Update!! How was your Christmas? I hope you all had a great time with your friends and family!
The 20th Weekly update and almost all my work were delayed for a week since I got Covid for days, and it was pretty bad. Most team members got it one after another, Joe and Rosiel, too.
The good news is that now we're all getting well again. It's great to be back!
Please take care and stay warm you all!!🧣
One more thing, the Christmas Contest has been extended to December 31st. Don't forget to submit your entries

Suggestions from the Community
We received a number of suggestions from the xTool community and FB groups last week. They will be carefully examined by the product team. Let's hope that they can be added to the XCS suggestion list and built soon!
If you agree with their suggestions, do let us know in the comment section below. Your feedback helps us determine what features to build and how to design a better experience.
Many thanks for your insightful feedback!! 👇👇
- Open two projects at once in XCS @Rachael Prevette
- Make pens that fit into the blade holder - draw an image and/or text and then be able to cut around it. (like Cricut or Cameo) @Thomas H Allee
Please keep the feedback coming!! We appreciate it, as well as your patience as we add, delete, and change features to improve the overall experience.
