VP4/VP3 Options
Use the Add Trim Commands function to add Trim commands before most movement stitches in the selected embroideries.
Trim commands will be added before movement stitches following the same criteria as are used in mySewnet™ Stitch Editor. If an embroidery with added Trim commands does not display as desired, open it in mySewnet™ Stitch Editor and use Insert Trim Command on the Modify page of the control panel to add individual Trim commands as desired.
Use ’Change Thread Range to’ to convert the colors in an embroidery to a chosen thread range, including MyThreads. Any selected embroideries will be converted.
In other mySewnet™ Embroidery Software modules you can change the thread range for an embroidery using Thread Range in the Color Tone dialog without adjusting the other settings.
Select the desired thread range by clicking the down arrow and the list of options will appear. Select the desired one by clicking on it.
This feature allows you to convert embroideries to any of the thread ranges available in the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software. For instance, you may convert embroideries to MyThreads, to see which threads to use from your personal thread collection.
Embroideries converted from multipart embroideries will be flattened to single-part embroideries.
Click Add Extra Notes to open the Notes dialog. See Notes.
This is only available when converting to .vp4 or .vp3 embroidery file format.
