You can read and write the embroidery design to the Brother .PES file format with the 4D Embroidery software. Check with your Brother sewing machine manual to determine how to transfer the file between the computer and the sewing machine. This information comes from http://softwaresupport.svpworldwide.com/sd/AddSolution.sd?solID=401 . I have used the 5D embroidery software and it also supports the Brother machine format.

I hope this helps.

    You're welcome. After I posted, I launched the 4D embroidery software on the other computer to confirm the file type. The 4D Organizer listed both pec and pes files for Brother sewing machines. (I am not the one who does embroidery. I just help maintain that computer for a family member.)

Hello Robyn,
In the drop down menu look for the file format required by Brother. Most Brother machines will work with .pes., as well as Singer.
Please give me a thumbs up if this is helpful, otherwise please leave more information on what formats are showing on the drop down menu.
Happy transferring

How do I activate my dongle for 4D Monogramming and Vision software when it tells me that I can't?
I don't have 4D, so this is a guess, but I do use a lot of different embroidery design software programs. That message sounds like possibly the software has not been installed. If you're positive all was completely installed, It might be a good idea to call 4D support for their advice. If you are installing on a new computer be sure the software is compatible with your operating system. You might need to uninstall and reinstall and if so this PDF for 4D Installation Instructions might help: http://www.learn4d.com/media/How$20to$20install$204D$20Monogram$20and$20Vision.pdf

My laptop which has windows 7 on it does not recognize mmy dongle
there is an update for windows 7 and dongles at the husqvarna viking website.

From Husqvarna Viking website -

When installing the 4D Embroidery System onto Windows 7 computers, the dongle drivers may not initially work correctly, as the 4D Embroidery System installs a set of dongle drivers which were created before Windows 7.
Download and install the latest dongle drivers prior to installing the 4D Embroidery System. Failure to do this, may result in the "Dongle driver not found (E0009)" when you try to open the 4D modules.
Please follow the steps below to install the latest dongle drivers BEFORE installing the 4D Embroidery System
  1. Download and install the latest Dongle Drivers.
  2. Insert your 4D Dongle.
  3. Install your 4D Embroidery System software (and all updates).
  4. Open your 4D Embroidery System software to confirm that your dongle is working correctly.
If you installed the 4D Embroidery System software before installing the latest dongle drivers and if you experience problems such as the error message "Unable to start hasplms service..."; download and install the latest Dongle Drivers.

Can't get computer and embroidery machine to connect via USB. Computer doesn't recognize embroidery machine. (Husqvarna Designer Diamond) I also have a new DELL laptop.
If your using Windows Vista, you have to have the multi user account in the off postioin. Also if you had 3D embroidery software and you upgraded to 4D software you have to be sure to uninstall the 32 bit drivers from the 3d for the 4d to work properly.

You do have to install the communication software that came with the diamond also. It won't communicate through the 3d or 4d only.

When I try to open design enhancer I get an error
This error can appear when you attempt to start 4D software. This will happen if you have installed any version 8.0 4D software, and the 4D Embroidery System software that is already installed has a later version than your 4D software.
If you have a CD (or DVD) containing 4D Embroidery System Software for version 8.1 or later, install the update for the 4D Embroidery System found in the Patch folder on the CD (or DVD).
If you have updated your 4D Embroidery System to version 8.1 or later using an update obtained with Smart Update, find the update you have already downloaded and run it again.
If you are unable to find the update, or you are not sure if you have the latest update, use Smart Update to obtain the latest update, as described in CC007.
When you run the update, you may be asked to choose between Modify, Repair and Remove. This selection appears because you have updated on a previous occasion. Choose the Repair option, and this will ensure all your 4D Embroidery System software is updated.
