Import thread range in 3D Configure Here's what I discovered. First, I have never purchased Isafil thread or purchased designs that showed Isafil threads. So, I decided to enter that as my import thread in 3D Configure so it would stand out for me so I could figure this out. When I opened my 3D Embroidery and clicked on any HUS format or a PES or XXX design, it brought up Isafil colors. If I chose a VIP or VP3, it might show Sulky or Robinson Anton or Madeira or Marathon, etc. That's because that is the thread the digitizer used when creating the design and because it was saved as a VIP or VP3 format, our program remembers those thread and colors. But if saved in any other format such as HUS, PES, XXX, that format's threads and colors are NOT recognized by our program, so it automatically chooses whichever thread we entered the the "import thread range" in 3D Configure. If I clicked on the "letter or shapes" tabs, and either typed a word or chose a shape, the colors reflected are Robison Anton. Viking chose Robison Anton as the default thread for the letters and shapes and no matter what thread you put in the "import thread range", the Robison Anton will still appear. In effect, it's like it was saved as a VIP or VP3 format. We can always change the color to any thread we want. If you have a set of designs created with Madeira colors and you want them in Robison Anton or Sulky, etc. then use the 3D Organizer and “file, convert thread range” to change them in batch to the thread of your choice. Directions for this are under my “tips, 3D Organizer, #3 or #1” if you also need to batch unzip. |
