Duplicating objects
Objects can be duplicated rather than copied.
When an object is duplicated, it is not copied to the
clipboard. This leaves the clipboard free for you to
cut or copy other objects.
To duplicate objects
1
Travel to the position in the stitching sequence at which
you want to place the object. See
Traveling through
designs
for details.
You can place the duplicate between other objects in
the sequence, or ‘nest’ it within an object. See
Nesting
objects
for details.
2
Select the object/s to duplicate.
3
Select
Edit > Duplicate
.
The duplicate object is placed directly on top of the
original, in the specified position in the stitching
sequence.
Warning
Make sure that there is only one copy of an
object at any one position. If an object is pasted twice
into the same position, it will be stitched twice.
Cloning objects
The Quick Clone feature lets you quickly duplicate
selected objects by right-clicking, dragging and
releasing at a new position.
To clone objects
1
Select an object or objects.
2
Holding down the right mouse button, drag the
object(s) to a new position.
A black outline of the object appears. The cursor icon
includes a plus symbol.
Try this!
For more precise positioning, hold down the
Ctrl
key while dragging – movement is thereby
constrained to X or Y axes.
3
Release the mouse.
A duplicate object(s) is created at the release point.
Try this!
Clone objects to another window by the same
method. To temporarily deactivate automatic scrolling,
hold down the
Shift
key while dragging. An identical
copy of the selection is created at the same
coordinates as the first window, no matter where the
mouse is released.
Deleting objects
Various methods are available for deleting objects.
Select Edit > Duplicate to duplicate selected objects.
