The Options Menu is accessible only in selection/transform mode.

Parameters command opens the window for the parameters of a design and its objects.

Snap Nodes and Markers snap options refer to node handles (if the program is in node-editing mode) and to marker points, such as the tie-in knot marker or the rotation center marker. Markers use these snapping options in all modes where they are utilized.

Snap Objects to Grid snaps selected objects to the nearest grid line when the user moves them in transform mode. Objects will snap only if they are close to a grid line. This feature allows the user to align objects using grid lines. It works with entire objects (not just edited nodes).

Snap Objects to Guidelines snaps selected objects to the nearest guideline when the user moves them in transform mode. Objects will snap only if they are close to a guideline. This feature allows the user to align objects using guidelines. It works with entire objects (not just edited nodes).

Snapping switches are also duplicated in the Accuracy Tab of the Main Control Panel for quick access.

Lock Guide Lines disables the editing of guide lines and the adding of new guide lines. Locking guidelines prevents unintentional selection of guidelines when working with digitized objects in the Work Area.

Erase Guide Lines deletes all guide lines in the Work Area.

Snapping of Guidelines: The guidelines themselves can be snapped to various targets for perfect alignment. You can then use these guidelines for splitting of objects or as snapping targets for other entities.

Default Thread Catalog opens the thread catalog window to select the default catalog. The Thread List is then generated based on this selection.

Use the Settings command to invoke the window with Studio's settings, such as hoop size, grid, etc.
