Scaling objects
You can scale objects by dragging the selection
handles with the mouse, specifying the exact
dimensions in the Object Details dialog, or by
setting the distance between reference points on
the design. As an object is scaled, the stitch count
changes to preserve the current stitch spacing.
Note Only native JAN designs contain the
complete set of design information required for
100% perfect scaling and transformation.
Scaling objects using click and drag
You can change the height and width of an object,
or scale it proportionally using the selection
handles. Scale objects individually, or select
multiple objects and scale them together.
To scale objects using click and drag
1
Select the object/s to scale.
Eight selection handles appear around the object.
2
Click and drag a selection handle to resize the object.
To scale height and width proportionally, use a corner
handle.
To change the height, use the handles at the
center-top or center-bottom.
To change the width, use the handles at the
center-sides.
Try this!
To resize around a center anchor, hold down
Shift
while you resize.
Scaling objects using Object Details
You can scale selected objects or a whole design
using Object Details. This allows stitches to be
regenerated and the original stitch density
preserved.
Warning If you scale a stitch design by more than
5%, changes to stitch density will affect the design
quality. See also
