Main Menu - View

The View Menu is accessible only in Selection/Transform mode.

This menu allows you to configure the workspace view mode and toggle the visibility of specific objects, contours, or stitches. Object contours represent the vector lines and curves visible on the screen during the design process, though they do not represent the actual generated stitches.

Unlike the "Eye" icon in the Object Inspector window, which toggles visibility for individual objects, the commands in the Show/Hide Objects submenu affect all objects meeting specified criteria. Managing the visibility of design segments is essential when creating complex projects, particularly when certain layers must be hidden to view or edit underlying elements.

Jumps displays jump stitches located between objects or within specific object types that may contain jumps (such as Sfumato objects). Jump stitches between objects are consistently indicated in the Object Inspector window by a small red scissors icon positioned next to the object's representative icon.

The Background Image (in 3D and Flat mode) toggle controls the visibility of reference artwork, templates, or sketches imported into the workspace. See Settings chapter for more information.

Thicken One-Way Outlines renders outline objects that lack backward paths as thick lines or curves. This visual aid helps users quickly identify which portions of the outline require a secondary layer of stitches or a return path to complete the digitized sequence.
