Copying Files

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

The following tutorial explains how to copy files with Embird from a hard disk to a removable USB memory stick.

Copying an embroidery file to a USB drive is a process that allows you to transfer digital embroidery designs from your computer to a portable storage device, which can then be used with an embroidery machine.

Note: Another way of copying files is explained in the Co-operation with Total Commander tutorial.

1 - Run Embird; it will start in "Manager" mode.

2 - Select the designs that you want to copy in the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen (Picture No. 1). To select the designs, please move the mouse pointer to the file name of the first design ("campanul.dst" in this example), depress the left mouse button, and hold it down while moving the mouse pointer over the file names of the other designs. When the mouse pointer is over the last design ("embird_flower_font.dst" in this example), please release the left mouse button. If you want to add another file to the selection, depress the CTRL key on the keyboard and click the file name ("hedera2.dst" and "lioness.dst" in this example).

1. Select Designs

3 - Click the "Right Panel > Clipboard > Copy Files to Clipboard" menu to copy the selected files to the clipboard (Picture No. 2).

4 - Connect the USB memory stick to the PC and click the "Refresh" button to update the contents of the "Drive:" box; otherwise, Embird might not recognize the new disk drive. In this example, the USB memory stick is recognized as the "I:" disk drive and the "EMB_FILE" folder is chosen in the "Folder:" box as the destination folder (Picture No. 3).

3. Connect USB Memory Stick

5 - Click the "Right Panel > Clipboard > Paste Files from Clipboard" menu to write the files from the clipboard to the chosen folder (Picture No. 4).
