You need an active internet connection to use it.
That means, you can not convert vector art to stitches unless you are connected to the net at the time.

Interesting, We still use Corel DRAWings for all our digitizing, but I thought Corel sold it to another company?  Maybe they are getting back into it...good to know.

They didn't sell it. Just re-partnered with Wilcom.
somewhere around 2008/09 Corel/Wilcom released DecoStudio and Embroidery Studio which combined Wilcom embroidery software and CorelDraw X4.
Earlier this year DecoStudio/EmbroideryStudio 2.0 was released with CorelDraw X5 included.

So, now we have probably the best embroidery software around and a high quality graphics solution all in one package.
However, the pricetag is pretty steep for some.
Embroidery Studio
Level 1 - $5000
Level 2 - $9500
Level 3 - $15K --> http://www.advancedwilcom.com/WilcomSoftware.html  <-- this is what I use
Deco Studio (entry level) $2000 approx
