BRO (Embroidery File) is a file format used for storing embroidery designs. It is commonly used for creating and sharing embroidery designs for machines such as Brother and Janome. It contains stitch data, thread colors, and other information needed for creating an embroidery design.
A .tap file with G-code is a CNC machining program, a text list of tool movements written by CAM software for controllers such as Mach3; unrelated to embroidery .tap files.
