Memo:
• All of the selected points move in the same
direction.
• To move the point of a broken line, a curve,
a manual punching pattern, or stitch data
horizontally or vertically, hold down the
key while dragging it.
• Pressing the arrow keys moves the
selected point 0.5 mm (about 0.02 inch) in
the direction of the arrow on the key.
Holding down the arrow key for the desired
direction continues moving the outline in
that direction.
• If
Snap to Grid
is selected, each press of
an arrow key moves the point one grid mark
in the direction of the arrow on the key.
• The arrow keys cannot be used to move the
end points of an Arc, Arc & String, and Fan.
• Points in patterns set for hole sewing can
also be moved. However, the point cannot
be moved to cross an outline. In order to
move the point in this way, cancel hole
sewing first.
