Working with Designs

What things can I change in a design?

Convert It, Mac is not an editing program. Therefore, you

cannot change the shape, content, orientation or any other physical

size or placement aspect of the design.

Convert It, Mac does however, allow you to change the

design colors and thread palette. Thread palette changing lets you

match the design to your thread inventory. Color substitution lets

change individual colors by changing either the thread brand or

color within the current thread brand.

The color change and thread substitution features are avail-

able for designs in PES, VIP and VP3 format only. The file struc-

ture of other formats precludes these type of operation being

performed.

However, do not despair! Simply convert a design to one of

these formats, do your thread substitution and / or color changes

and convert back to your desired format. There is a caveat to this

process. Some formats are limited in their color palette or even if

they support color information. So you might convert to a change-

able format, do your work, convert back and not see what you want

or expect.

Let's see how to change thread and colors.

Recall that when a design is selected in the Browser View

(see the section How do I get my designs into Convert It, Mac? or

How do I view my designs with Convert It, Mac?) its details are

displayed in the Detail View.

To change the thread brand you will use the pop-up entitled

“Current design Colors”. Clicking on the pop-up will display all the

possible thread brand substitutions. Simply pick one from the list

and the current thread brand will be replaced matching the colors as

close as possible. This change is not complete until you save the
