Anyone else use Wilcom ES with their Amaya?

[Laughing Palm]

I'm wondering if anyone else here uses Wilcom ES Designer instead of DesignShop for digitizing designs for their Amaya?

Hi Jim,
I use Wicom almost exclusively. I have 2006.

Great...let me ask you - do you set your machine type to Melco, or do you use the Tajima setting? I've noticed a few times when I converted a design that was originally set to Tajima over to a Melco setting, that it dropped or changed stitches in a way I didn't want. Have you come across this?

I use Melco for the machine type but I haven't had specific experience with the Tajima-to-Melco conversion. The only problems I've been aware of is losing color stops when inserting CND files into a design.
Do you know about the WilcomES yahoo group? There's a very experienced group on the list who can provide help with most any problem. If you're not a member, you should definitely join.
