Roland,
It sounds like you have developed a system that works for you. We normally
do a couple of other things to help with the memory. In Design Shop I assign
all the correct colors using the color bar/color selection process. You must
assign these by the brand name of thread you are using, i.e, ARC, Madera,
Isacord, etc. Then while in Design Shop or OS, I first show the design on
the screen in 3D, then click on "File, Print", and in the print menu
selection area, select "Print file status/notes." This will then print out
a picture of the design and list by color and name of color by brand name,
size of the design, stitch count and various other information. We also save
the sample sewout for the customer file
In Design Shop, under "View" and then selecting "Design Notes" I create a
file for this design and enter all the pertinent info for customer name,type
of garment,material, speed, and any other info I think I might need in the
future. I can then print this as well, for a hard copy to go into the
customer file. This information can then be viewed while in either DS or OS
at anytime, without having to dig in to the hard copy file. But, it is only
wise to always have that hard copy backup, just in case of the computer
crash.
The new 7.00.018 Pro+ software has an option to assign a printable barcode
for all the designs, colors , speeds, needle settings, etc, that can be read
by an infa-red reader at the machine, that will automatically set up
the sewing process.
