[QUOTE=Quilty-Louise;6224187]My turn to ask a question that so far I have not been able to find
out the answer.
Yesterday I decided to actually download and plan to try one of the
Floriani Free Monthly Designs they offer (I think it might only be for
those who have registered software), but I discovered that I have
to actually convert the designs into the format(s) I want.
In doing this converting there are MANY versions of PES formats to
save the design with .pes v1, .pes v2, etc... up to version 9.
Does anyone know what the difference in the versions are?[/QUQUO
I had the same question, which I posed to Floriani. The tech department suggested I convert it to the largest (9) so the machine can read it. But he said to make sure I input the correct size hoop. I have a Quattro and use Floriani software. LOVE them both. I had trouble sending a design to my machine, it was saying the design was too large for the hoop. It was a 4x5 design and I was using a 5x7 hoop. For some reason, either my machine or the software was reading it wrong. After tech suggested changing my settings, it worked. He did say that there were small issues reading certain PES designs and suggested that I bring them into the Floriani software as DST (commercial format) if I ran into the problem again, but take note of the original color sequence since DST will not have the correct colors. No problems since I changed the setting to 9.
I very much enjoy using Floriani, very easy to use and updates are always FREE!
