When you want to output multi-hooped designs as machine files, you use the Export Machine File function in the normal way. You are then prompted to split the design into separate files for each hooping.
1Create or open your multi-hooped design.
2Click the Export Machine File icon. The dialog appears allowing you to browse to any folder.
3Choose a machine file type from the droplist.
4Change the export file name as required and choose a destination folder. The system checks that all embroidery objects are covered. You will be warned if they are not.
All hoopings needed to stitch the design are calculated and displayed in the Hooping Sequence panel. Hoopings are named as files with the chosen file extension. Any split lines which may have been applied are calculated and objects split between their respective hoopings.
5Optionally, click Zoom to Selected Hoop to view a closeup of each hooping. If you have activated registration marks, you will be able to see them clearly marked in red.
6Select a hooping and click Save Selected Now. Alternatively, click Save All Now to save all files in the list. EmbroideryStudio outputs the hoopings to their individual files.
7Click Close to return to the previous mode.
Tip: Click the Exports toggle to open the Exports docker. This allows you to view the export status of the current session. Conversion to older formats or machine file is performed as a background task.
