Working with Protected Designs

Designs from the mySewnet™ Library are opened in a protected state, as indicated by a library design  & symbol in the FilmStrip.

 

Any project that includes a mySewnet™ Library design will be saved or exported in a protected state.

You can only stitch out protected projects on a mySewnet™ Library enabled embroidery machine.

Opening and Inserting Protected Designs

Protected designs can only be opened in mySewnet™ Embroidery or mySewnet™ Stitch Editor. They cannot be opened in any other module.

When you use Open  to load a mySewnet™ Library design, or a project containing a Library design, the protected sub-designs are shown in the FilmStrip.

If a project that includes a mySewnet™ Library design is opened with a mySewnet™subscription present, the protected parts will no be loaded.

Saving and Exporting Protected Designs

When protected projects are saved with Save  or Save As , a protected format .evp4 file is created.

When protected projects are Exported , the protected format .evp3 is used.

You can only stitch out protected projects on a mySewnet™ Library enabled embroidery machine.

Working with a Protected Project
