Description
The VP3 file type is a vector-based embroidery file format developed by Husqvarna Viking/Pfaff, used to store embroidery designs for use with computerized embroidery machines. It is a proprietary format that can store a wide range of stitches, as well as images and text.
An embroidery file type TAP is a file format used by home embroidery machines to store information about the design that is to be stitched. The file contains all the data and instructions necessary for the machine to create the design. It includes information about the type and color of threads to be used, the size of the design, and the exact locations of the different elements of the design.

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.
