Thread Colors and the Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond deLuxe, Diamond, Ruby deLuxe and Ruby
Thread Color Representation
When true mySewnet™ Embroidery Software embroidery files in .vp3 format are displayed on the Ultimate Interactive Screen, the thread colors are displayed correctly according to the first color in the thread definition (some threads have multiple colors in the thread definition). However, the thread type and weight is not used. This means the following:
All thread types are displayed as if they are rayon, so, for example, metallic effects will not be seen
Threads are displayed with the same thread weight, which is approximately equivalent to 40 weight
Ultimate Interactive Screen Display of Colors
While the Ultimate Interactive Screen can display the thread colors correctly according to their RGB (red, green, blue) values, some colors may still appear different than they do on a computer monitor. This is because of the inherent differences in the displays themselves. The same colors can even look different on two identical monitors if their brightness, contrast and color settings are different.
Thread Names
Thread names from .vp3 embroidery files are shown on the Designer Diamond or Designer Ruby as the first four characters of the thread range abbreviation, the thread weight and thread number.
No thread range, thread weight or manufacturer's thread number is shown for other file types as this information is not present in other file types. The only exception is for .vip embroideries, which shows the thread range for each color in the embroidery. This applies when opening embroideries on the machine in their native format, rather than sending them from the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software.
Thread Conversion
Embroideries other than .vp4 are converted when they are sent from the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software. When .vip embroideries are converted, the equivalent thread ranges are used. For all other embroidery file formats, the threads are converted to the nearest matching color from the Import Thread Range chosen in mySewnet™ Configure.
It is also possible, however, to open embroideries directly by browsing the computer from the machine, and to open embroideries that have been placed on the USB Embroidery Stick. In this case, the embroideries are opened in their original format. The thread colors will be displayed in the RGB colors used by the file format. The color changes are numbered and no thread range or thread number information is shown. The only exception is for .vip embroideries, which show the thread ranges for colors in the embroidery. To see the thread numbers in a .vip embroidery, send the embroidery from the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software.
Saving Embroideries from the Designer Diamond or Designer Ruby Ultimate Interactive Screen
Embroideries are always saved in Husqvarna Viking / Pfaff .vp3 format from the Designer Diamond or Designer Ruby Ultimate Interactive Screen. All embroideries and lettering currently on the screen are saved in the .vp3 file. Files can be saved to the Designer Diamond or Designer Ruby memory, a connected USB Embroidery Stick or a connected computer.
Errors from Undefined Thread Colors in Embroideries Saved from the Ultimate Interactive Screen
When a file that does not have full thread definitions is loaded on the Ultimate Interactive Screen and then saved in .vp3 format, each color will be saved with only the RGB value (this assumes that colors have not been changed on the Ultimate Interactive Screen). If the file is later opened in the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software, attempting to change such a thread color will give the message that it is undefined and it will be automatically converted to the nearest thread color in the Import Thread Range set in mySewnet™ Configure.

If a color in an embroidery is changed to one of these colors, the .vp3 embroidery file will contain the full thread definition for that color when the embroidery is saved from the Ultimate Interactive Screen. This will be displayed and identified correctly if it is loaded into a mySewnet™ Embroidery Software module.
