What is a .ART80 file?
An ART80 file is a type of embroidery design file specifically created by a program called BERNINA ARTlink, starting from its version 8. This file contains all the details needed for embroidery, such as the pattern of stitches, the colors of threads to be used, and additional information about the design.
**How to Open an ART80 File:** To view or modify an ART80 file, you need to use the BERNINA ARTlink software, particularly version 8 or later. This software is designed for creating and editing embroidery designs.
**Understanding the File Type:** BERNINA introduced the ART80 file format with the release of ARTlink 8. This format is the standard file type for saving embroidery designs in this version of the software, allowing users to reopen and edit their designs. Earlier versions of ARTlink used different formats, such as .ART for the initial versions, and other formats like .ART50, .ART60, and .ART70 for versions 5, 6, and 7 respectively. Each file extension corresponds to the version number of ARTlink that created it.
**Creating an ART80 File:** To create an ART80 file in BERNINA ARTlink, you start by designing your embroidery in the software. Once you are satisfied with the design, you go to the "File" menu, select "Save" or "Save As," and then choose ART80 from the "Save as type" dropdown menu.
**Converting an ART80 File:** If you need to use your embroidery design with different embroidery machines or software, you might need to convert the ART80 file into another format. In ARTlink, you can do this by going to "File," then "Export Machine File," and selecting the format you need from the options available. Formats you can convert to include .ART, .EXP, .PES, and several others.
**Transferring a Design to an Embroidery Machine:** After converting your design to a compatible format, you can transfer it to an embroidery machine. First, connect a USB storage device to your computer and copy the converted file onto it. Alternatively, you can use ARTlink to directly write the design to a storage device or card connected to your machine. Once the file is on the USB device, eject it from your computer, plug it into your embroidery machine, load the design, and start embroidering onto your fabric.
This process allows you to use designs created
