Jeff,
Lots to think about, isn't there? :) I LOVE this stuff. Keeps the brain
active.
I changed Wilcom to output the trim code instead of jumps for the Melco
formats. (Using jumps and adjusting the jump count is an option.)
I am not converting to wireframe in DS, but I will keep it in mind in other
instances. I can definitely see the trims now in the DS .ofm file. This
should work. I have 2 more stitch-outs. Maybe I can save the manual trimming
on these two. Yeay!
Thanks so much for your help. I'll confirm the status of these last changes
after the next run.

Mary,
The only other issue is if you are converting the EXP file to wire frame
after bringing it into Design Shop? If you are not converting it, and you
are designating a Trim in the Wilcom software, then if it is outputting
Jumps, there should be 3 or more Jumps at the spot for the trim. I believe
the amount of Jumps it puts in is adjustable as well. As 3 is an industry
normal setting, I would think they are putting in at least 3? In Design Shop
you should be able to go to the Stitches TAB on the right and see them and
count them at the spots where you should see a Trim. If you still cannot get
it to trim in the right spots, send me the file to look at, perhaps I can
figure out what is going on?
