■ Creating an embroidery pattern
using vector images drawn with
other image-editing applications
Being converted to the ".svg" file format, vector
image files created with other commercially
available applications (e.g., ".ai" (Adobe Illustrator
Artwork) and ".cdr" (CorelDraw file)) can be
imported.
First convert the vector image files into either of
WMF, EMF or SVG file format with your
applications, and then import them to Palette by
following the steps described in "Importing vector
images (WMF/EMF/SVG)".
Importing vector images
(WMF/EMF/SVG)
a
• Image, text, width of the line, gradient, opacity,
and any other styles or attributes of graphics will
not be imported. With files in the ".emf" and
".svg" formats, the data is converted while
retaining curves.
• The data on all layers of an SVG file, regardless
of whether it is displayed or hidden, will be
converted into the embroidery pattern.
b
Raster image files (e.g., ".bmp" and ".jpg") can be
used as background images in Palette, or they can
be converted to embroidery patterns using the
Image To Stitch Wizard.
