A text outline format used by industrial sewing machines. Each line holds nine integers: a flag (0 = line, 1 = arc, -1 = end record), a start point, an end point and, for arcs, a centre point and a rotation direction, with coordinates in hundredths of a millimetre and every record terminated by LF CR.
u01 files are data files created by Barudan embroidery machines and software. These files store information about the design and stitching for a given embroidery job. They are used to transfer embroidery designs between machines and software, and are typically used in commercial embroidery operations.
