NGS format: please note that you can save files in your hard disk in <.ngs> format; the main advantages are the following:
|
- only takes up 30% of the file space of a machine format such as Tajima.dst
- faster electronic transmission of designs via e-mail or the internet
- save notes and other information which will be lost if saved as a machine format
- files can be searched more easily and faster using database options
|

| You can also save designs in the following formats: |

Saving Parameters:
|
|
While writing or reading you can specify the following parameters. Which parameters will be active or not depends on the machine format. |
|
Designs |
| |
In this area you can see the names of the designs that are contained in the diskette. |
| |
|
| |
Split objects above distance |
| |
Using the following scroll bar you can set the distance above which the objects will be split. For your information, two parts of a design are treated as separate objects if they have a special function between them. This option is useful when you have a design without thread trims. Specifying a distance just higher than the longest stitch there is inside the design, automatically converts all the long stitches (movements between objects) to split objects. |
| |
|
| |
Convert all Stop functions to color changes |
| |
If you enable this option, modular will translate the Stop special function into a color change. |
| |
|
| |
Delete all Slow/Fast commands from design |
| |
If you enable this option, modular will delete any slow or fast commands the design may have. |
| |
|
| |
Cut is … jumpstitches |
| |
This option relates only to the Tajima machine format. With the following scroll bar, you have to specify how many jumpstitches will be translated as a cut. |
| |
|
| |
Read double stops |
| |
This option also relates only to the Tajima machine format in which there is no color change function. This type of machine uses the stop function as a color change. If you have two or more stops in a row (for example when embroidering appliques) modular will read them as a "Stop" function, not as two color changes. |
| |
|
| |
ZSK code Version |
| |
The following two commands work as radio buttons. They allow you to select one of the two commands depending on which type of ZSK machine version you are working with: |
| |
• |
OLD: Slow speed command
the old version of ZSK code uses Function 20 as a slow speed command; |
| |
• |
NEW: Sequin command
new versions of ZSK code use Function 20 as a Sequin command; |
| |
|
| |
