Once you install Optitex, a main Optitex folder is installed in your C drive (located in Program Files, depending on the Optitex version you installed):

Optitex 64Bit installation - C:\Program Files\Optitex 15\

Optitex 32Bit installation - C:\Program Files (x86)\Optitex 15\

Fabric Files All of the fabric files available for your 3D model are saved in an FDF file inside the Fabrics folder: C:\Program Files\Optitex 15\Fabrics

Note: By default, you receive an FDF file with the default fabrics. If you want to add you own fabric, you can do so via the Optitex Fabric Editor, a separate Optitex application. For more information, contact your Optitex representative.

This folder is set as the location for your fabric files in the 3D Properties dialog under Fabric Parameters:

Fabric List: Defines the location of the FDF file (fabric files).

Select Fabric: Once you define the location of the FDF file, a list of all the files is displayed.

The following fabric files are available as the default fabrics:

Props Props can be used when you want to add accessories to your 3D samples.

There are two types of Props:

 Button Shapes: Includes buttons, accessories, decorations, etc.  Segment Shapes: Includes pipes, bindings, stitches, zippers, etc.

There are two types of file types available in the categories.

 MOD files: These files were created via a 3D software and can be opened in the PDS. These files are editable: position, color, scaling, etc. All Button Shapes are MOD files.  PDS files: These files were created in the PDS. Not all of the fields are editable. Some Segment Shapes are PDS files, such as Binding, Pipes, and Welts while the rest are MOD files. You can create your own PDS files for segments as well.

Adding Samples into the PDS

You can easily add the different samples into the PDS by importing via Preferences > 3D> Stitches:

To view information about any of the samples, open up the Stitch Properties dialog. Here you can view/edit (depending on the file type), the offset, repeat, etc.

Button Shapes

These samples are MOD files that are imported from a 3D software. They are scalable, can be rotated, and their offset can be changed. Button Shapes can be imported into the PDS:
