By default, the Design name field will take the current design name – e.g. ‘Design1’. You can change it if you wish. This name is applied to all files exported with the Export Multi-Decoration Files dialog.
If exported files for any components have the same selected file extension and location, the file name will be automatically suffixed as follows:
Design Element |
Suffix |
Embroidery |
_EMB |
Graphics |
_GFX |
Appliqué |
_APQ |
Bling |
_BLG (for a single file) |
The single multi-decoration file – ‘Design1.EMB’ – contains embroidery, graphic, appliqué, and bling components. Depending on chosen file types, you will see file names of the following kind:
Design Element |
File Type |
File Name |
Embroidery |
Wilcom EMB |
Design1_EMB.EMB |
Graphic |
CorelDRAW |
Design1_GFX.CDR |
Appliqué |
AutoCAD |
Design1_APQ.DXF |
Bling |
Adobe Illustrator |
Design1_BLG.AI |
When bling objects in a design contain rhinestones of different size, shape, and/or color, and the Multiple Files output option is selected in the Settings dialog, files will take a suffix of the following form:
<filename>_SSx_<color>
<filename>_SSx_<color>_<shape_name>
<filename>_<color>_<shape_name>_<XxY>
For example, consider a design with the following bling types:
Bling type |
Output filename |
Navette 8 x 4mm with color Emerald |
Design1_Emerald_Navette_8x4.PLT |
Flower SS16 with color Crystal |
Design1_SS16_Crystal_Flower.PLT |
SS04 with color Aquamarine |
Design1_SS04_Aquamarine.PLT |
Tip: The print preview shows which rhinestones are in which file.
