What is the difference between .bx and .pec?

Name: Embrilliance BX Font; Brother/Babylock/Bernina Home Embroidery Format
Extension: .bx; .pec
Format: Binary
Category: Embroidery; Embroidery
Developer: Embrilliance; Pfaff
Description: A BX font is a stitch-based embroidery alphabet from Embrilliance - every letter, digit and punctuation mark already digitized as a finished stitch design in one file, which Embrilliance's lettering tools load as a typeface. Filestar reads each glyph and converts the font to an embroidery design.; The pec file type is a proprietary embroidery format used by Brother, Babylock, and Bernina home embroidery machines. It is used to store machine-readable designs for the machines to stitch out. The files can be edited with a variety of embroidery software programs.

What a conversion keeps

Stitches: Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours: Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops: Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering: Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
