Gerry Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have decreased the size of a embroidery design but when I select it to change the density the black downward arrow that's supposed to be in the upper right (looking at the computer) hand corner isn't there. How do I change the density and is my program malfunctioning? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Quote Link to comment
cousette31 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There is only two ways to change density when changing a design. One is in EMB. The other is to reprocess the stitch design. (stitches to outlines) If the design is at all complex I wouldn't suggest the latter as your asking a computer to think like a human. So far it hasn't happened yet. If you're resizing a stitch file rule of thumb is 10% up or down as the stitch count will remain the same. Quote Link to comment
thefordmob1 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Have you 'selected' the embroidery design? Quote Link to comment
Gerry Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have it selected in EMB. I also saved it as a copy and then opened it again with no luck. I went back and opened other designs, selected them and didn't see the arrow then either. I know I've decreased density before and ran into this problem. I just can't remember how to get around it. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
cousette31 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Is it a try EMB or did you just save it as one? Did you create the design? Saving a DST as EMB isn't the same as a pure EMB. Quote Link to comment
siv1987 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sound to me like this was a DST that was saved as a EMB file. It is then not a true EMB and the properties/arrow will not show up. If you have both DST and EMB files saved maybe you opened the DST? Quote Link to comment
