Melco CND files

Melco Condensed (CND) is the native file format of the Melco embroidery digitizing software. CND files store only digitized outlines and stitch values.

Condensed file input settings

When you open Melco CND files, the Melco stitch types used in the design are converted to EmbroideryStudio stitch types – Satin, Run, Tatami, etc. Use the Condensed File Input Settings dialog to change conversion settings in order to adjust the spacing, stitch length, effects and defaults applied to EmbroideryStudio stitch types. You can also set scaling values to open the design at a different size to the original.

Save Melco files

The Save Options dialog lets you save files from EmbroideryStudio to Melco CND format. Files that were originally created in EmbroideryStudio generally give the best results, as other file types may not have all the information required for a successful conversion.
