If all you want to do is output the embroidery portion of a design as a high resolution virtual decoration, the process is simple.

To output virtual embroidery decoration...

1Open your EMB design file.

2Optionally, turn on TrueView™ to visualize the embroidery component. The image produced is always in TrueView™ even if the TrueView setting is off. The Options > View Design settings will affect the final appearance of the virtual embroidery. You may want to adjust these.

3Optionally, toggle on the product image to visualize the resulting virtual decoration on the target garment. Make any size adjustments needed.

4Select File > Capture Virtual Decoration Bitmap.

5Select a suitable resolution – e.g. 300 DPI. This setting determines the detail at which the TrueView™ image will be rendered. You can override presets by keying in a higher resolution as required – e.g. 1200 DPI. Width and height settings update automatically.

6Click OK to save a PNG file of the design. Only the embroidery portion of the design is output to PNG file. This file can now be printed to garment or other media.
