HI Edna,
This is a problem and it has not been fixed 100%, it has been improved, but
not 100% fixed. It depends on the complexity of the graphic. If there is a
solid color that then a lot of detail has been put into the graphic over the
top of the solid color so that all that shows of the solid color is what
would look like outlines around all of the objects coving it, this is where
the trouble starts. Asking it to try and convert only the parts that are
visible and not covered by other objects is sometimes just too much for it
to try and figure out. It should not crash or close no matter what, this is
a critical problem that needs resolved. But, the fact it cannot do that
detailed of an operation is still being worked on and I am not sure yet of
the outcome. There may be limitations as to what can be done. If you like,
send me the graphic, I can tell you more from looking at it.
Sometimes in this type of graphic, it is best to try and convert only the
objects covering the solid color and then have the software Convert Object
Type and ADD an outline to the converted top objects. Another way is to go
ahead and let the solid color covert totally then convert the top objects on
top of the solid color just as the graphic is made. As long as there are not
too many top objects on top of each other, the density can be adjusted so
that it works ok without making a bullet proof design.
Not all vector art is created equal either. Some of it out there is real
cheap bad stuff with hundreds of nodes where only a few would work. Some
vector art is not suitable for conversion directly to embroidery without
some editing. I would have to look at the graphic you are trying to convert,
but my guess is that what I have described is what is happening.
Sincerely,

Subject: [amayausers] autodigitizing vector art-program shuts down
Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well and in good health! I have a
question, should have
posted earlier but had not had time. I have version 6.08.027 of Design
Shop Pro Plus. I
purchased some vector art a couple of months ago and was playing with the
auto digitizing
of one of the designs just for fun. Well, didn't get to the fun part as
every time I put
in that I want to stitch visible parts only, the program shuts down. No
warning or error
message, it just closes. Has anyone got this version and if so, do you
have the same
problem? It's irritating, maybe it's been fixed in a later version, but
this is the last
update that I received from Melco, I think it was before the summer? The
end of the year
makes it my one year anniversary. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Edna
