Converting Embroidery Design Files to Different Formats

Embroidery design files can easily be converted to a file of one of the other formats (.pes, .dst, .exp, .pcs, .hus,

.vip, .shv, .jef, .sew, .csd, or .xxx).

1.In the folder pane, select the folder containing the embroidery design that you want to convert.

2.In the contents pane, select the embroidery design file that you want to convert.

3.Click File, then Convert Format.

→The Convert Format dialog box appears.

4.From the Format selector, select the format that you want to convert the file to.

b Memo:

With the DST format, jump codes are used to indicate when the thread must be cut in order to change the thread color. Since the number of codes differ depending on the sewing machine being used, type or select the appropriate value in the Number of jumps for trim box. (This setting can only be specified if the .dst format is selected.)

5.Under Output To:, select whether the new file is added to the same folder as the original file (Same folder) or to a specified folder (Following folder).

b Memo:

•If multiple files with different formats are selected to be converted while Same folder is selected, any file with the same format as the new one will not be converted. However, if the files are being added to a different folder than the original one, any file with the same format as the new one will be copied to the different folder, instead of being converted.

be added, click .

In the Browse For Folder dialog box that appeared, click the folder, and then click OK (or double-click the folder) to select it and to close the Browse For Folder dialog box.
