Design Menu 5.1
The
Design
menu functions enable the quilter to
open, modify, position, and save quilting designs.
A majority of HQ Pro-Stitcher work will be with
the functions found within this menu. While any
Design
sub-menu is selected, two clusters of buttons
are available on the bottom left-hand and bottom
right-hand corners of the screen. These functions
are useful during many of the
Design
steps and are
therefore available during all
Design
functions.
Bottom Left-Hand Button Cluster
The four buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of
the
Design
screen turn on or off the visibility of a
portion of the design
(
Figure 5.1
)
.
Design
The
Design
button displays the design when
selected and hides the design when turned off.
Box
The
Box
button displays the blue bounding box
to show the X and Y extents of the current design
when selected. The
Box
button turns off the
bounding box when deselected.
Jump Points
Red dots
appear within a design to mark the start of
a jump, or no-stitch line. The quilting machine will
stop stitching at that point. The jump is indicated
by a purple dashed line.
Green dots
mark the end
of the jump and the beginning of the next stitching
segment. Press the
Jump Points
button to show or
hide these dots and dashed lines on the view.
Figure 5.1
Start/Stop
The
green target symbol
indicates where the design
starts stitching. The
red target symbol
is the end of
the design. Hide these symbols for better visibility
of the design by selecting the
Start/Stop
button and
show them by selecting the button again.
