BasePac contains a complete drawing program. Actually a stitch file can be created without any further templates. Nevertheless pictures and scans from sketches, photographs or cliparts are very helpful for a good result as well as technical drawings. Those can be imported in all common picture formats such as .bmp or .jpg. Vector formats are readable as .dxf, .ai until V8, .svg or .cdr until V14.
The following formats can be imported as well as exported:
Normally information about parameter settings (distance, stitch lenght, pull compensation, etc.) are lost once the embroidery projects are exported into stitch files. Thanks to the coordinate-processor existing stitch data can be transferred to BasePac-data which enables the setting of parameters for selected areas. Besides that BasePac offers smart scaling that keeps the embroidery denstity and stitch length to a certain degree. But above all for the insertion of machine commands and needle assignment the BasePac Base is the perfect software for handling with mainly foreign stitch codes on your ZSK machine.
BasePac is available in the following languages:
German, English, French, Spanish, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese, Hungarian, Russian and Dutch
The Help function is available in English and German
