Designer 1 Fonts Disks

If you want to use the fonts disks that came with the D1 within your 3D Embroidery program with each letter as a design in set sizes, you can do that. (You cannot put them in the “system fonts” that work in the “letter tab” of your program.)

The first thing we want to do is set up some folders to hold these files.

Open the "explorer" and scroll down to the 3D Embroidery folder and click on the "+" to open the folder.

Click on the "+ in front of "My Designs" to open that folder. We want to create a sub folder under this main folder. (You may not have your main design folder under the 3D Embroidery. Maybe you put yours under the C Drive.)

Click on the "my designs" folder. On the right side of the screen, right click in an open space and a drop down menu will appear.

Click on "new and then folder" and these words will be highlighted at the very end on the right side of the explorer.

Lets call this main folder "D1 Fonts". So type this right over the highlighted words and touch the "enter" key on the keyboard to register that folder.

Now, you will see this new folder listed under “My designs” on the left side under "My designs".

Now we want to make some sub folders under the D1 Fonts because we want them categorized in styles of fonts.

So, click on the D1 Fonts folder. “Right click” in an open space on the right side and click on "new and folder" and this time type "Palace Fonts" and touch the enter key on the keyboard.

We need some more sub folders because these fonts come in 3 sizes. Size 30, size 20 and size 12.

30 caps menu 1

30 sl menu 2 (small letters)

30 #s menu 3

20 caps menu 5

20 sl menu 6

20 #s menu 7

12 caps menu 9

12sl menu 10

12#s menu 11

Click on the "Palace Fonts" folder and right click on the right side in an open space and click on "new and folder" and type "30 Caps".

Click on the "Palace Fonts" folder again and right click on the right side and make a folder called "30sl (small letters)".

Click on the "Palace Fonts" folder again and make a new folder called "30 #s.

Click on the "Palace fonts folder and make a folder called "20 Caps" and then
one called "20sl"
one called "20#s".

Then make some called 12 caps, 12sl, 12#s.

Okay, now the folders are ready.

Open your "Disk Manager" and insert the Palace disk.

Click on "open" and a window will pop up. Click on the folder with the "up arrow" until you see the A drive.

Double click on the A drive and then double click on Menu 1 so it will show the "look in" window..

Click on the first file and then touch the "control and A key" to highlight all of them.

Click on "open". Click on the "multi save" icon and click on those 3 dots (browse buttons) and find the first file called 30caps and click on "save".

Click on "new" to clear the screen and then click on "open" the window will open and click on the "up arrow" and this time click on Menu 2 and open.

Highlight all of those files and click on "open" so they will appear on the Disk Manager screen.

Then click on "multi save" and find the file called 30sl and click on "save".

Then when you finish with the first disk, do the next one the same way.
