Vector file support - EPS, EMF, DXF, WMF Have you ever created an image in such drawing programs as Corel Draw® or Adobe Illustrator® and wish you could import them straight into Wilcom ES to digitize? With Wilcom ES 21D you can import vector files including EPS, EMF and DXF directly into the design window. Once imported, you can digitize on-screen like conventional artwork.

Automatic Digitizing Smart Design, Wilcom's automatic digitizing option, comes standard with Wilcom ES 21D. An extension of Point & Stitch™ technology, Smart Design recognizes shapes in bitmap images and makes decisions about the most suitable input methods and stitch types to use. It also determines the stitching sequence based on closest join. Artwork is effectively ‘batch processed’ to create the many embroidery objects that make up a design, saving costly digitizing time.

Measuring Tooltip

Using the "M" key on the keyboard, measure the distance between two points and the angle of the line between them using the Measure command. The Measure tooltip shows distance and angle.

Measuring Tooltip is available exclusively in Wilcom and standard in all levels.
