Hello Debbie,
After inserting the design file into Catalog Xpress, you can right click the thumbnail picture and choose 'save as'. You can save the design file to a different file format and you can also change the folder location to save the file to.
In this case you would need to open Pe Design 7 software and browse to the folder location you saved the design file to.
Thank you
