Susan,
Once upon a time, people use to put in their own tie in's, tie off's,
underlays, and so on... when they would digitize. Now the software has
gotten rather fancy and with the click of a button, you can put tie in's and
tie off's everywhere but the kitchen sink. But you are always welcome to
put tie in's and off's, jump stitches, manual stitches, etc... anywhere you
want to. That's the beauty of understanding the software. I say play
around all you want and if you aren't careful, you just might learn
something you can teach the rest of us.
As for converting to wire frame from say, an EXP file. That feature in
the
software is a really powerful tool. But it is just that - a tool. Only use
it as you need it. And only convert the elements you need to as opposed to
the entire design. Converting to wire frame utilizes some fancy schmantzy
software formulas that makes a facsimile of the original data as best as it
knows how. But that's not to say things in the design won't change. It
could be a subtle trim right in the middle of a fill stitch. You'll scratch
you head asking why did it do that? So be prepared to clean a few items up
as necessary.
I would say it's something like scanning a photo to a computer and then
printing out the picture. It's gonna look real close to the original- but
with a microscope, one can tell it has been altered. (That's the best
analogy I can think of right now.)
Sometimes, it might just be faster to redigitize a design from scratch
rather than trying to redo something someone sent you digitized with
different software. You'll have to make that call.
Ed

Subject: [amayausers] Tie Ins/offs
From a few comments Rod has made I am assuming the #5
tie in/off is the best to use. What is the reasoning
for this and are there times when #5 isn't the best?
Also, Is it better to manually put in ties and trims
instead of just checking that off in the properties
box?
And Lastly, when a design is converted to wire frame
are any of the properties lost--i.e. ties, trims, etc?
Thanks,
Susan
