3. After resizing a design, the density of

the stitching is either too tight or not tight

enough.

The Futura software will recalculate the stitch of an

imported design when sizing, but only when using the

DESIGN>CHANGE SIZE option. It does have a limitation

of re-sizing up to 149% and down sizing to 51% and

while still being able to re-calculate the stitches correctly.

and graphic files - Vector

Art vs. Bitmapped Art

There are many different types of images or formats of

graphic files. AutoPunch

tm

gives the best results when

using vector type images, such as .wmf. The software

must be able to recognize a color (block) of information.

A “. bmp” can be made of millions of colors making it

impractical for use.

Clipart falls into two basic categories, Vector Art and

Bitmapped Art.

The software is capable of vectorizing the “.bmp” image,

but it may lose detail, depending on the image. It is

essential to understand about the type of artwork or

image used with AutoPunch.

Vector Art is a clean “graphic” blocks of color – by simple

definition. Some common formats - .wmf and .emf are

two formats that the Auto Punch software can read.

Bitmapped Art is the type of “format” that is typically

saved when scanning. The computer sees millions of

colors to create the “realistic” type of image. Even a

3-color design that we see as simple has billions of

pixels. Common formats recognized by the software:

.bmp, .jpg, .tif, .pcx, .pcd, .tga, and .psd.

Tips for AutoPunch

tm

¡

Scan art with a “high resolution” (200-300 DPI).

¡

Scan at 3-6 times larger than the intended output.

Lines that are too narrow to properly sew out are

eliminated by the software when it cleans up the artwork.
