Hi forum, I am new to the embroidery field but I have been in the sign business for 11 yrs now. I bought Decostudio e1 and a Toyota 830. I had the Pantograms designer series 7.6 that came with the 830 and it was horrible so I decided to try Decostudio and it seems to be really good software so far.

  I have a problem though. I don't know how the new machines are but with the Toyota 830, from what I understand, you can't download directly to the machine. you have to create a file and the 830 downloads it from that file. With Pantograms, it sets up a file and a machine/port driver and when you click prepare for embroidery, it saves the file as (1), (2), (3), ect. When you goto the control panel of the 830 you just punch in (1) and the file downloads.

  I want to get rid of the Pantograms software but right now it is the only link between any software and the machine. I also have expert stitch manager and what ever the one is that Decostudio has built in. Is there a way to configure this so I can use Decostudio to set the file up so the 830 can download it?

Thanks, Alan
