File naming conventions

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)

Example

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

Bling multi-file output

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:

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.
