Preview designs

The Preview Design feature allows you to view a visual representation of an embroidery design directly within Wilcom Library. Previewing a design helps you quickly inspect the design layout, colors, and overall appearance without downloading or opening the file in Truesizer. This makes it easier to verify designs and review them before editing or preparing them for production.

Open & navigate the design preview

To preview a design:
  1. Select a design in My Designs.
  2. Click the browse button below the design and select Preview Design from the droplist. The design opens in the preview window, where you can view and inspect it.

Zoom & inspect the design

Use the preview controls to:
  1. Zoom in and out
  2. Inspect fine details
This allows you to closely examine stitching, shapes, and layout.

Preview at true scale

You can view the design at true scale (1:1) to see its actual size. This is useful for:
  1. Checking fit for specific decoration areas
  2. Verifying logo size
  3. Confirming production readiness
Use the preview to review:
  1. Overall design layout
  2. Color combinations
  3. Spacing and proportions
This helps ensure the design looks correct before editing or exporting.
