Conversion of Melco CND format to Wilcom EMB

When you open CND designs in EmbroideryStudio, outlines are scaled and stitches recalculated to preserve density. EmbroideryStudio recognizes all Melco machine functions and stitch types, including Partition Lines and Complex Fill, and automatically converts them to EMB format. This table details how Melco features are converted.
