The pixels are oriented from the top left corner, with one pixel per bit starting with the most significant bit in the first byte. The size of each thumbnail is the thumbnail width multiplied with the thumbnail height number of bytes (width and height are given in the PEC section).

There is always one main thumbnail image plus one for each color. Trim commands are long form stitches with the command bit for Trim set.Дў, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1. Jumps are long form stitches with the command bit for Jump set. Since sort form can only encode stitches, all commands will always set the long-form bit.

The following three bits are then control codes, and the remaining b11-b0 are 2s complement of a 12 bit number with a max range of 2047 in any extend. In long form, the first most significant bit is 1. In short form, the first most significant bit is 0 and the remaining b6-b0 are 2s complement of a 7 bit number with a max range of 127. If the long form is flagged then the next three bits there are control bits, and the remaining 12 (including all 8 of the next bit) are overtly 12 bit 2s complement binary.

If the bit is zero then the following 7 bits are 2s complement binary for the dx or dy value. The topmost bit in a coordinate is the flag for long form. The first nonzero coordinate pair is relative to the minimum bound coordinates.Д®ach stitch we read the dx or dy coordinate. Note that if the first coordinates are (0, 0) the embroidery machine apparently ignores them. Depending on the bit patterns used, 2, 3 or 4 bytes are used for the coordinate pairs as explained below. The PEC stitch list come in dx and dy relative coordinate pairs. Offset to thumbnail image subsection relative to the PEC section offset plus 512 bytes Number of colors minus one, 0xFF means 0 colors. Thumbnail image width in bytes, with 8 bit pixels per byte, so `6` would mean 6Г—8 = 48 pixels per line Label string prefixed with `'LA:'` and padded with space (`0x20`) The first part of the PEC header is 512 bytes. PES files always start with #PESxxxx then an exact reference to the position of the PEC file within that file. If the PEC file is standalone rather than embedded in the PES file it often begins with the magic string '#PEC0001' and then has the rest of the file. It is often included in PES files in order to do the machine part of the code. The currently selected (default) color is shown in the toolbar.The PEC format is read directly by embroidery machines.

Alternatively, let the software match design colors to threads in the current thread chart/s.

#Wilcom thread color chart code#

You can search for a thread by code or description and assign it to a selected design color slot. Each chart includes a range of thread colors together with code, brand and description. The supplied charts represent the brands of threads that EmbroideryStudioВ supports. Use Threads > Match All to match threads from the current chart/s to all color slots in the current colorway. Use Threads > Assign Thread to assign selected thread to the highlighted color in the current colorway. Use Threads > Select Thread Charts to select the thread chart/s you currently have available for use. Use Color > Colorway Editor to assign thread colors to slots in the color palette.

Use Color > Add Color to add a new color slot to the color palette. Use Color > Threads to search for and match threads from different charts, and assign for use.
