SNC SDX330D and SDX325 come with a My Connection button that will talk to XP2 Luminaire machines, but not the PR machines. Any of the SNC machines will cut the HTV. Becky Thompson of Power Tools with Thread.
All SDX machines can communicate wirelessly with PE-DESIGN 11 from the ScanNCut tab. You can Import and Export fcm files. At this time the only machines that communicate wirelessly with the SDX325 and SDX330D is the Luminaire XP1orXP2 through My Connection. My Connection is only on these 2 ScanNCut models. My Connection is activated on the Luminaire with a code that comes with the SDX325 and SDX330D. Cindy Hogan www.cynthiasembroidery.com
Hi John,If the only issue she is having is the hoop size, she can create her own hoop using the Edit User Hoop function in the Design Settings menu.First step change her system unit of measure to metric. Next, click on Design Settings, Choose Edit User Hoop.For the 9.5x9.5 hoop type in 240mm x 240mm, name the hoop and then click Add Hoop.For the 9.4x 14 hoop, type in 240 x 360mm, name the hoop and then click Add Hoop.Click OK.The hoop will be listed underneath a black line below the built in hoops. There is one other reason to upgrade to Version 11. Her XJ saves out as a PHX. Neither NEXT or 10 will allow her to import any designs she saves off the machine. Hope this information is helpful, Cindy Hogan
