Creating Design Images for Cataloguing
Creating Design Images for Cataloguing
1 - Run Embird, it will
start in "Manager" mode.
2 - Use "Drive", "Folder" and "Files"
boxes (located on the Right Panel at the right side of the screen) and
choose the folder with embroidery designs, e.g. "C:\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder
in this example. In case you are using Embird 2006 or later, you will
find some free designs in "C:\Program Files\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder.
3 - In the "Files" box select
the designs which you want to create images of. To select multiple
designs, please move mouse pointer to the file name of the first design in the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen,
depress the left mouse button and hold it down while moving the mouse
pointer over the file names of the other designs. When the mouse pointer
is over the last design, please release the left mouse button
(Picture No.

6 - After a while, the "Save As"
dialog box will appear on the screen (Picture No. 4). Choose the file format for
images in "Save file as type" box. You can choose between .BMP
and .JPG formats. File
size of image stored in .JPG file is smaller
than the file size of image stored in .BMP file. On the other hand it takes more time to create
the file with .JPG extension, because it contains compressed image.
7 - Finally, click "All" button to create images of all
selected designs. In case you have selected only single design, click
"OK" button. Images will be stored in the same
folder as the designs, i.e. to "C:\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder in this example (Picture No. 4).
