NGS format: please note that you can save files
in your hard disk in <.ngs> format; the main advantages
are the following:
|
- only takes up 30% of the file space of a machine format
such as Tajima.dst
- faster electronic transmission of designs via e-mail or
the internet
- save notes and other information which will be lost if
saved as a machine format
- files can be searched more easily and faster using database
options

can also save designs in the following formats: |

Saving
Parameters:
|
|
While
writing or reading you can specify the following parameters.
Which parameters will be active or not depends on the machine
format.
|
|
|
Designs |
| |
In this area you can see the names
of the designs that are contained in the diskette. |
| |
|
| |
Split
objects above distance |
| |
Using the following scroll bar you
can set the distance above which the objects will be split.
For your information, two parts of a design are treated as
separate objects if they have a special function between them.
This option is useful when you have a design without thread
trims. Specifying a distance just higher than the longest stitch
there is inside the design, automatically converts all the
long stitches (movements between objects) to split objects. |
| |
|
| |
Convert
all Stop functions to color changes |
| |
If you enable this option, modular will
translate the Stop special function into a color change. |
| |
|
| |
Delete
all Slow/Fast commands from design |
| |
If you enable this option, modular will
delete any slow or fast commands the design may have. |
| |
|
| |
Cut
is … jumpstitches |
| |
This option relates only to the
Tajima machine format. With the following scroll bar, you have
to specify how many jumpstitches will be translated as a cut. |
| |
|
| |
Read
double stops |
| |
This option also relates only to
the Tajima machine format in which there is no color
change function. This type of machine uses the stop function
as a color change. If you have two or more stops in a row (for
example when embroidering appliques) modular will read
them as a "Stop" function, not as two color changes. |
| |
|
| |
ZSK
code Version |
| |
The following two commands work
as radio buttons. They allow you to select one of the two commands
depending on which type of ZSK machine version you are working
with: |
| |
• |
OLD: Slow speed command
the old version of ZSK code uses Function 20 as a slow speed command; |
| |
• |
NEW: Sequin command
new versions of ZSK code use Function 20 as a Sequin command; |
| |
|
