With Pre-Design you can save your designs in the AutoDesk DXF-format*, which makes Pre-Design an easy to use tool to digitize your own quilt designs, to be used in computerized longarm quilting systems which can work with DXF-files, such as CompuQuilterTM and IntelliQuilterTM
Below are links to slide shows how to draw in Pre-Design V3 (but also in the new Pre-Design Studio) for computerized quilt systems, plus a demo slideshow how to draw and print your own panto rolls in Pre-Design and how to create your own quilt stencils in Pre-Design.
