Outline or 'condensed' files are high-level formats which contain object outlines, object properties and stitch data. When you open an outline file in ES Designer, corresponding stitch types, input methods and effects are applied.
Outline files can be scaled, transformed and reshaped without affecting stitch density or quality. After modification, you can choose to save your design to EMB format, or to a different format altogether.
Some outline files, such as Wilcom INP, Gunold PCH, contain incomplete information. Old format ESD designs are somewhere between an outline and a stitch file. They contain stitch data, information about selected stitch types, densities, and machine functions. They do not, however, contain information about shapes and lines. ESD files require object/outline recognition if you want to perform object editing in ES Designer. See Opening stitch files in ES Designer for details.
