Which version and level of DesignShop do you have? What problem are you having when the the design is being sewn? Not all jump stitches in a .dst design should be converted to trims when loaded into DesignShop or an Amaya machine. Some of the jump stitches are necessary for the design to sew correcly on machines other than Amayas. The digitizer that created the design will set the "jumps for trim" count in their software. You want your "Jump Stitches For Trim" setting to be the same as the digitizer intended. Normally the digitizer will use 6 jump stitches to trigger the Tajima machine trimmers. If you set your DesignShop to generate trims on 5 jump stitches your design should sew out as the digitizer intended. If you think there are too many jump sitches in the design you can work with your design filter settings to correct the problem. If you want to add additional trims inside an element you will need a level of DesignShop that allows expanded editing. As you have found if you just convert an element to wireframe you lose the texture of fills and possibly other critical information from the design. DesignShop does a really good job converting expanded elements to wireframe but some information will still be lost. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
