Open Embroidery Designs (System Format)

Use this function to load an existing embroidery design created with this software (DSG system file format) as a document. A new Document Tab opens and the embroidery design is graphically displayed in the workspace. As this is a condensed design, you will be able to use all the object editing functions on it.

Instead, if you want to load design files in machine formats (expanded designs), you must use the function: Import Embroidery Machine Design Files.

We use the terms Open and Save (as read and write actions) when it refers to System Format Files (the natural file format), and we use Import and Export (as read and write actions) when it refers to Machine Format Files.

 

There are several ways to load an embroidery design.
