Keep in mind that AX IS NOT designed specifically for this task.  CatalogXpress is for this task!  At the combined price of these programs, you are still investing a minimal amount for getting all the features.  No, they don't pay me for saying that!

Open AX and select the "File" Drop down Menu.  Select Merge Stitch File and find your design.

Select the View Drop Down Menu, then select Zoom.

Yo

Let me reiterate, CatalogXpress does a better job and your investment is still small relative to what software is out there.  But if you just need a quick look at your design, you have it!

And, BTW, you can see the underlay and stitching which may allow you to see if your design is well digitized.  After all, if there are too many stitches on top of each other, you may have a problem design. 

See how much you can get from your AlphabetXpress?
