design file.

is added to the same folder as the original file

Click Convert.
→ The file is converted, and the new file is
added to the specified folder.

Memo:
With the DST format, you can specify whether
or not the jump stitches are cut according to
the number of jump codes. 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.)

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.
• To change the folder where the new file will
be added, click .
b
Memo:
• If the file is converted to a .pes file, the
thread colors are converted as if the file was
imported into Layout & Editing.

Note:
Files cannot be converted to the .phc and
.pen format.
