Re: Wilcom -> SWF design color transfer issue
1. Always save raw editable files as as EMB files never rely on saving dst files. DST files are export only files for running the machine and ideally should never be used for editing. If you have wilcom always save the EMB files and Export dst as needed/you can save dst too but since it dosn't save color data its easier to export each time you run.
2. DST files are machine code files that only really saves "XY" penetrations/coordinates, auto trims, and "color changes" and dont save color data, what it cares about how long a single color runs for before the color changes (IE if you have a 2 color emb file but sews down for example white, then black, then white. That is a 3 color change dst file)
3. Next your machine doesn't recognize that what color it changes too on its own you assign the color to that section of the file/run. (read your machine manual on color) There are sometimes other file formats that can save and control those colors but that is advanced setup/businesses that only use 1 of (9,12,15 colors depending on the machine).
4. I have in the past had funny errors with wilcom having a save error causing extra colors but usually is caused by autosaving with a massive bitmap or some other similar issues. (very rare but it happens) sometimes you have to save or restart the program. Or go into the stitch list and look at the functions on the stitches.
