Update Units of Measure from Points to Millimeters

One thing you will notice right away is there has been a change in the units of measure from “Points (pt)” to “Millimeters (mm)” for density, underlay, and various other areas. The reason for this change is because Walter Floriani teaches you to always measure in millimeters as this is what embroidery machines operate under. This should help you make the transition:

1mm = 10 pt

So, here are some examples:
0.1mm = 1 pt
0.4mm = 4 pt
1.2mm = 12 pt
10mm = 100 pt
14mm = 140 pt

It is relatively easy to make the transition between the two units of measure. This will greatly help those who study Walt’s “Destined to Digitize” book that is based off his “Measurement Theory of Embroidery.”
