Using the Add Design tool to add a design from File:

tool.
You see an option menu.

Add from File
.
You see the Open dialog.

In the Open dialog, browse to the folder containing the file you
want, and select it.
4
Place the mouse pointer at the position you would like to place the
design file.

Click and drag the mouse; as you drag, note that the Design
appears in outline in your workspace; the outline indicates the size
and orientation of the design, before it is actually generated in the
workspace.

Click Open.
The selected embroidery file will be merged into the current design.
You can also insert a design quickly by just following steps 1-4 above,
and then double-clicking in the workspace. This will add the selected
design at the default size.
Note that you must change to the Select tool when you are finished
adding designs; otherwise the Add Design tool will still be active, and
a new design will be added each time you click in the workspace.
