Accessing the library

The Embroidery Library is accessed from the Canvas toolbar.

It has five components‚ two toolbars, a toolbox, a navigation tree, a design display area, and an info panel as summarized here...

Component

Function

Manage Designs toolbox

Use the toolbox on the left to open selected designs, convert them, print them, or output them to any connected embroidery machine or data media, or find folders containing the designs and add/remove folders to/from embroidery library.

Navigation tree   

The navigation tree in the Embroidery Library is not an exact duplicate of your Windows Explorer folder structure. Because the library only deals with embroidery designs, you will only see folders which have already been added to the library.

Design display   

The design display area shows any designs in selected folders corresponding to the filter selected and search criteria entered in the Manage Designs toolbar.

  • Use the toolbar to filter the design display.

  • Right-click selected designs to access a popup menu. Use it to cut, copy and delete without leaving the software.

  • Use it also to zip designs and folders.

Design info   

When a design is selected, summary information is displayed in the info panel.

Manage Designs toolbar

Note  There are differences in the way the info panel is displayed in different versions of Windows OS. Your display may differ slightly from the screen images shown here.
