Please explain all situation step by step, You see .PES  format files in folder? In standard Browser (Not Ped-Basc)

[Elspeth]

[Elspeth]

This is happening with a file I downloaded as well, PE-BASIC will not recognize the file but I can see it in the folder. Please advise. The file is breitla.pes. Thanks

I am hoping y'all can help me. Diver361, I followed your instructions, but I do not get the Click Import Patterns as an option.

Thanks!!

I have downloaded and installed the PED Basic software to my computer.  When I open the embroidery files I have on the computer in the PED Basic program it is not 'seeing' all of the files - they all have the .pes extension.  I also do not have an 'import patterns' option on my program.  The Brother Machine I am using is a Brother Pacesetter ULT 2001  - so only a floppy drive and card drive option to read files - no USB drive.  Any assistance you give me would be appreciated.  

[diver361]

Copy the files to your computer's hard drive. To do this, make a special folder for example C:\My embroidery designs.
And select this folder in the program window.

I copied and saved the .PES files to my desktop then attempted to open them in the PED Basic but the PED Basic is still not showing all of them.  Not sure if this matters or not but the files not showing were from a Kimbray Blank class I am taking with our local sewing store, not sure if they are proprietary or not.  Below is a screen shot of the desktop file and what I can see in PED Basic. Also I do not see where the 'Import Patterns' option is found - thanks

In latest version no have this function. Now have only in PE-Design. Please try change name for these design. Yes, this is strange. But may be embroidery designs damaged.

My PED-basic is not allowing me to see designs from anywhere except the desktop or the card itself. when I click on the folder button to choose where I want to get embroideries from it only gives the option of desktop or card. I'm not able to see or choose any other drive to get at my embroidery files on the C drive. When I click file I am only given options related to printing and print previewing/setup, there is no import option.
Also I have some new embroideries which are simply not showing up even though they are on the desktop which the software will let me get files from. Other embroideries on the desktop that are new do show up. The embroidery files that do and don't show up are all of different sizes so that can't be the issue. The new ones came saying ".PES" but I already tried renaming them to ".pes" and they're still invisible to the PED-basic program.

I tried reinstalling the program as well but to no avail.

Exactly same problem with me. I bought some design from etsy and it doesnt show up on the ped basic app. I downloaded free design from the internet and it shows up there. I downloaded the app called file viewer, it shows up there too. I rename to xxxx.pes from xxxx.PES, still nada....please help!

[diver361]

Are you using the import function?

[mlesews]

I am having the same issue. I downloaded a ton of .pes designs while waiting on my PED Basic Card Writer to arrive. None of the files are visible in the software. There also is not an option to import. I called Brother Support but the agent was unable to help. He was able to verify that I have the most up to date version of the software 1.07 but that is as far as he could help. I checked the file size and it is smaller than several of the designs in the sample folder

 

[diver361]

The Brother company has several versions of the files for their systems. Older versions of the software cannot open newer versions of files. There are generic versions. The file may not have been saved correctly. What file can't you open?

[mlesews]

I downloaded several.pes files from Brother ibroidery. I also created a .pes in Inkstich. The only files that are recognized are the same files that came preloaded in the program all of which have a creation date of 2001. 

[diver361]

You try our free embroidery files?

I am having the same issue as the February 10 post.  Is there a new version of the PED Basic software that we can download.  I am on version 1.07.  Thank you for any help you can provide.  It appears I am not the only one.
