Migrating a version 2 stitch library to version 3

As user stitch libraries created in version 2 can no longer be edited it is recommended that you migrate these to the new version 3 format. This will convert the stitch symbols to the new svg format. It will also update some existing stitches and add some new ones. See Version 3 library changes for details of all the changes.

Migrating a version 2 stitch library leaves the original version 2 library unchanged and creates a copy in the version 3 format.

1. To migrate a user library, select one of the libraries from the User libraries (before V3) tab and then Migrate.

2. The Migrate library from Version 2 to Version 3 dialog opens displaying the initial 'Welcome to Version 3 Stitch Library Migrating' page.

   

3. Select Next.

4. If the 'namespace' preference value has not yet been set, then the Configure Namespace page is displayed.

   

5. Enter an appropriate namespace and then select Next.

6. The Migrate page is displayed.

   

7. Edit the name if desired. Also select the folder and file name for the new library file and check if this V3 library should be the default library.

8. Select Finish to create the version 3 format stitch library file and create a new stitch library alias.

   The new stitch library will contain customised stitches from the version 2 library plus new stitches for version 3.
