Use Docker > Exports to view the export status of the current session. Conversion to older formats or machine file is performed as a background task.

By default EmbroideryStudio saves designs to its native EMB format. This contains all information necessary both for stitching a design and for later modification. The Output Files tool prepares production-ready outputs from your design in one step using a saved output profile. A profile can include:

3Machine files: one or more formats – e.g. DST, PES, EXP.

3Design files: one or more EMB file formats. These may include formats used by customers.

3Worksheets: Print and/or save production worksheets or approval sheets.

Set a target destination in the profile or choose at run time.

To output current design to multiple formats...
