Main Menu - Objects

The Objects menu item is only available in selection/transformation mode.

Clipboard operations Copy and Paste can be used for moving objects between separate designs.

The Edit Nodes command switches selected object to editing mode.

The Generate Stitches command computes stitches for selected objects. The same effect can be achieved with double click on object icon in Object Inspector window.

The Sort Colors function changes order of selected objects so that objects of the same color are in the successive order. This function helps to eliminate the color changes.

The Sort Types function changes order of selected objects so that objects of the same type are in the successive order.

The Sort Sizes function is very important for editing of objects imported from vector graphics files like SVG. Such files often contain large number of a very small objects (often smaller than 1 millimeter) that are not possible to sew out and they spoil embroidery design. Use Sort Sizes command to re-order imported objects according to their size. Then select too small objects and delete them.

The Order submenu contains functions for changing the order of selected objects. This is the order in which the objects are displayed in the Inspector window and also the order in which the objects are stitched.

The Tune Colors function allows to adjust colors of all selected objects, or even whole design at once. Tune Colors command opens window with Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Saturation and color balance controls (Cyan-Red, Magenta-Green, Yellow-Blue). These controls work with color of vector objects and stitches (thread), not with colors of the image.

Left: original colors before tunning. Right: brightness increased for all objects at once.
