JANOME Embroidery Software Instruction Book

Chapter 5 Viewing Designs

Design viewing modes

JANOME Embroidery Software provides a number

of viewing modes to selectively display design

details. Show or hide needle penetration points

and

connectors

. Show or hide selected colors.

Viewing designs in Visualizer

Visualizer offers a graphical representation of what

the final embroidery will look like.

To view designs in Visualizer

Click the

Visualizer

icon to switch between Visualizer

and normal view.

Try this!

Use

Visualizer

together with a background

fabric to see how your design will look when stitched
out. See

Changing backgrounds

for details.

Viewing needle points

EasyEdit lets you show or hide needle points in

your design. This is useful when you want to select

stitches for editing.

See

Stitch Editing

for details.

To view needle points

To show or hide needle points, click the

Display

Needle Points

icon.

To show or hide needle points, select

View > Display

Needle Points

To hide connecting threads, view design in Visualizer
mode.

Viewing connectors

JANOME Embroidery Software automatically adds

connectors

between objects in a design. When

connectors become long enough to trim, the

software adds tie-in and trim functions. These are

indicated by the symbols shown below.

The MB-4 machine will, by default, tie-off and trim

at the specified positions. This behavior is

alternately known as ‘Trim By Jumps’, ‘Jump Stitch

Cutting’ or ‘Jump Thread Trimming’. However, the

MB-4 machine also allows you to switch to

automatic machine trimming. This means that,

while the machine will tie off whenever it

encounters a tie-off function, it will only trim

connectors longer than the length specified on the

machine itself, regardless of whether there is a

trim function in the stitch file. Other machines only

have the automatic machine trim function. These

machines ignore any trim data in the stitch file.

Note Old designs which have different connector

settings do not display trim symbols at all in some

cases where the machine actually trims. You can

overcome this by inserting the old design into a

new blank design. The old design will inherit the

new connector settings.
The symbols shown below may also appear and are

helpful in understanding what appears on-screen.

Click View > Visualizer to change between normal
view and Visualizer view.

Use View > Display Needle Points to show or hide
the needle points in a design.
