Changing Machine Format
Properties
All designs in Pacesetter BES Lettering have a machine format.
Machine formats have their own profile settings that determine
how embroidery information will be interpreted when you save
design files.
When you create a new design file, you can select the machine
format for the specific design. The selected machine format can
change how the design file is read. When you set machine
format properties in the Preferences dialog, all new designs will
use these machine format properties as the default settings.
If you open a design with the New/Recipe command, you can
select the recipe for the new design ins the New Page dialog.
This will override whichever recipe is set as the default in the
Preferences dialog.
Changing machine format properties after a design file has
been opened will not change the machine format of the
embroidery designs in that design.
