A SHV file is a design file used by Husqvarna Viking Designer embroidery machines. It contains an embroidery design, which includes information about stitches, colors, and other design elements. It is used to transfer a design to a machine's memory and create an embroidered object.
A GCODE file contains commands in G-Code, which is a language used to describe how a 3D printer should print a job. It stores instructions in plain text with each line representing a different command, such as how fast the printer should print, the temperature it should be set at, and where the printing parts should move.
