The PES block would have a CEmbRect object only. If a PES version 6 design, for example, contained a rectangle object. Later versions of PES have higher level objects which contain vector shapes and information about how these are filled when it renders. The PES data has a copy of the segments and the PEC data has a copy of the segments. So within PESv1 we end up with two copies of the same data in each of their respective blocks. These can be grouped in a few different ways but they only ever contain sewing segment information.

These blocks contain the affine transformation data for the position data, and the position data. In PES version 1, the only blocks contained within the version 1 of the format were the CEmbOne and CSewSeg blocks. However, later versions of PES version 4+ have addendum information about the PEC block that wouldn't interfere with the processing of the PEC block but contains information relevant to the embroidery machine.

Since the PEC block is the same in all versions so that it's always backwards compatible with the hardware of the Brother and Bernina embroidery machines, software made by others therefore tends to only read that data and turns those commands into line segments. And the PEC part contain the design name, colors, embroidery machine commands, and graphics for the embroidery machine. The PES part contains the design information for Brother PE-Design and perhaps similar applications. PES files contain at their core two different parts for two completely different purposes.

File Explorer view showing icons produced by SewIconz. The file “Assortment.PES” has been “selected” by clicking on it, and its magnified textured thumbnail is displayed in the right Preview Pane (available in VISTA and later versions of Windows). The figure shows an Explorer folder containing embroidery files with large-sized thumbnails displayed in the middle pane. These images represent the stitch pattern contained in each file.

Once SewIconz has been installed and you have selected the various viewing options , you will now see “icons” (or thumbnails) displayed when you open a folder (using Windows File Explorer) that contains embroidery files (see the figure below). Most modern operating systems do not need to do this, but on some older (XP) systems, you may need to reboot to see icons for the selected files.

You will be given the option to reboot your system at this time. This is the last time you need to interact with SewIconz– until you want to change the types of embroidery and graphics files to iconize or to uninstall the application. Finally, press the OK button to complete the setup process.
