Convert XXX to SHV

Understanding xxx and shv file formats

XXX files are embroidery design files created by Compucon's embroidery software, commonly used in the textile and garment industry for controlling embroidery machines. These files contain stitch patterns, color information, and design data specific to Compucon systems.

SHV files are embroidery design files used by Husqvarna Viking sewing and embroidery machines. The SHV format stores stitch data, color sequences, and design layout information compatible with Husqvarna Viking hardware and software.
