With AID, import a variety of file formats including bmp, jpg, clp, pcx, gif, and wmf. Select between 3 different modes of auto shape recognition to achieve the optimal design using Fill, Satin and Running stitches without the manual digitizing process.

AID II also allows those with a large number of vector art files to take full advantage of Auto Digitizing with the clean lines that vector files offer.


This option will auto-digitize a design and allows the user to interact with
designs by moving nodes, changing stitch types, stitch direction, stitch editing and
changing many other stitch parameters as if the design was manually digitized.


AID II offers a new tool, The Embroidery Wizard, making it a user-friendly
process with simple steps to follow and create designs fast without manually
digitizing them. AID II is also great for make samples quickly and getting
stitch estimations for pricing your orders.

AID now includes Photo Stitch, allowing you to convert your favorite images into awesome Embroidery Designs with just a few mouse clicks! Easily adjust brightness and contrast, invert colors, change stitching angles, and add borders.
