Vectorial files and embroidery software?

I haven't seen an embroidery generator that does a great job on any file format yet. You typically have to indicate what stitch density, direction, pattern, size and may other parameters for each section to get a decent pattern. This means redrawing or at least redoing 90% of each of the sections parameters.

Hello. in my experience PE-Design isn't very professional, so i was looking another tool. As you said everything we have to redo the 90%..okay..but can you suggest to me at least a good professional software?

People speak well of Wilcom and of Tajima.

Thanks!

Wilcom is considered the best, from what I have seen. Cost? about $10K

What level of Wilcom would that be though?

I saw a quick demo of Corel at a show a few years ago and it looked nice but didn't view long enough to see what it really put out or ease of use. After purchasing their drawing products years ago I would approach very aprehensively. The menus were done by muddleheads and had no user layout smoothness.
