| good morning,
We are having a problem with Emb Studio; when the whole design is selected, it gives a width of 3.83" wide @ the lower right of the screen. When this design is print previewed, the printout says it's 4.04" wide! Have rebooted PC and restarted EmbStudio, and copy/pasted to new document and still the same problem. Any help is gretly appreciated, thanks! |

| I contacted Wilcom Support and they were able to figure it out. It seems that the border around a shape was making things screwy; was an input C border w/offset, so it wasn't reading right. Easy fix; just manually do the border instead of input C- fixed it! They do not know why this happened, so I thought I'd post the solution to the problem in case anyone else runs into this. Don't think it's a real worry; have done tons of similar designs without this ever happening |

I know why.  Don't worry, it's not a problem.
The "Property Bar" (in the lower-right of the screen) shows the dimensions of the digitized "object(s)"
The Production Worksheet shows the dimensions of the design's "stitches" (i.e. shows the machine operator how much the frame will move while stitching)
The dimensions of the "stitches" may differ slightly from the dimensions of the "object(s)" due to the way the stitches are generated inside the object, along with effects like pull compensation or jagged edge.
e.g. If you digitize a straight vertical 3mm wide Input C, then use jagged edge with a range of up to 4mm and 0.2mm pull compensation, the "object" is still 3mm but the "stitches" can be generated up to 4.2mm.

| then this would happening with every use of input C as an outside shape, right? |

Yes, but usually you'll hardly notice because typically, only Pull Compensation is on, and that is usually only around 0.2mm or so, less than 0.01 inch. So there would generally be a very small difference between "object" (Properties) dimensions and "stitches" (Production Worksheet) dimensions.
It's only when you start doing stuff that pulls some stitches further outside the "object" that you might be more significant discrepancies (jagged edge is the only one that comes to mind, though you could also cause a difference using stitch edit).

Turns out it's just input C getting weird on me; had something else happen with input C problems.
Thanks for the input! |
