Nope, the design stays in the OS and physically on the machine and hooped. Nothing physically moves. Why I needed it? A couple of times (because I was experiencing problems caused by a bad X motor which has since been replaced), I was obviously getting frozen in the middle of large stitchouts. I only discovered this bug when I tried it on my other XT that had a good motor. To experiment, I would start sewing a design, stop midway, reset the design, then put in the X/Y parameters that I wrote down before I reset the design. It never worked. Like I said, not a problem for me but weird that it's in the software and it's not dependable. I use the MOVE TO color options a lot and that works fine. Now I'll have to try the MOVE TO stitch number again just but this time I'll take the stitch variable from OS instead of Pro Plus. Maybe it works. Probably does, but now I'll have to pay attention to where I was getting the stitch variable from. ~geri ----- Original Message ----- From: Rod or Sharon To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2008 3:02 PM Subject: [amayausers.com] Re: Fast forwarding Geri, I guess a question that comes to mind is ....Why are you needing to use this tool in the first place.....what is happening that causes you to need to use this feature? Are you stopping in the middle of a design---sending it over to DS to do some editing and sending it back to the machine.....what is happening to the design between the time sewing stops and when the design is reloaded back to Amaya? Lots of questions....... Roland is right, OS will filter out short un-needed stitches....if the design is changed in anyway, the stitch counts will change and sending it back to OS and trying to use the exact stitch number will only get you close to the ballpark....depends on how much editing was done, if this is the case.......hence the jog forward and jog backward tools to allow you to fine tune...

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times. I take the number from the window in the OS and it goes to a place earlier in the design but never at the number I put it. Same thing with X and Y move to command. Had a tech tell me they experience the same thing and just can't depend on it. Two machines, consistently fail on both. Several levels of the OS, consistently fails on all versions. Weird. It's not a big problem for me. I just pretend it isn't available. Maybe I'll try it again during the week and see how it's going just because I'm curious now. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can you send me specific instructions? I'm thinking I look at the OS stitch number of the point I want, and write it down. I get that number from Pro Plus in the stitches column. Then I go to the OS and in the MOVE TO command, put in that stitch number. For the X/Y parameter number, I get that if the machine stops (for whate ver reason) and I jot down the number where it is. I reboot the system, go to the MOVE TO command and put in the X and Y numbers. It's always way off. I've worked with the keypad to get it to the correct number. Even when I add the number, the OS won't accept it and just goes to some random place. Then I toggle it around until I can get the number to match up on the screen. ~geri -------------- Original message -------------- From: theboards@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > This message was posted by Rod or Sharon on AmayaUsers.com.
