Main Menu - View

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

This menu allows you to configure the view mode and to hide or show objects, contours, or stitches. Object contours are lines and curves visible on the screen, but they are not actual stitches.

Unlike the Eye icon in the Object Inspector window, which hides or shows only specific objects, the commands in the Show/Hide Objects submenu affect all objects that meet the user-specified criteria. Showing and hiding parts of design is useful for creating of complex designs, especially when you need to hide certain parts to view others.

Jumps displays jump stitches between objects or within objects that may contain jumps (e.g., Sfumato objects). Jump stitches between objects are also always indicated in the Object Inspector window by a small red scissors icon next to the object icon.

Thicken One-Way Outlines displays outline objects that lack backward paths as thick lines or curves. This helps users identify which parts of the outline require a second layer of stitches, i.e. a backward path.
