The .VIP file extension is associated with the Brother knitting machine software. This proprietary file format is used to store various patterns used in the Brother knitting machines. Patterns stored in the VIP format can be transferred to a Brother machine via a USB cable connection and used directly.
Technical Description
The VIP format stores information about stitch patterns used to create fabrics such as sweater sleeves, sweaters, collars, and other types of garments. The pattern information is composed of various instructions written in the language supported by the Brother design software that runs on the Brother machines. This language contains commands for patterns instructions such as knit, skip, tuck, change needle select, change color select among other similar instructions necessary for producing complex pattern fabrics.
The VIP file extension is a part of the larger group of knitting related file formats accompanied by .PES, .DAT, .PXF, .DSZ, and .SEW among others. However, the compression algorithm used by the VIP format is different from other formats making it unique and unlike any other knitting related format.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VIP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VIP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VIP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VIP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VIP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VIP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VIP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VIP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VIP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VIP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
