 Scale:
|
 |
The
tool "Scale" on the vertical toolbar changes the
size of the current design.
|
| |
 |
| |
On the
left hand side of the dialogue ("X" axis and "Y" axis)
you can scale the design as a percentage of the current size.
When changing the percentage on the scale, the "X" and "Y" fields
(on the right side) are also being changed. If the change is
more than 100%, the design will be enlarged, if less than 100%,
it will be shrunk.
On the right hand side of the dialogue you can see the size of the design. You
can also change the scale using these fields. |
| |
| The "Proportional
scaling" option gives the opportunity to change the size
of the current design by locking the relationship between the
horizontal and the vertical scales so that a change to one
dimension will automatically keep the design in proportion.
If this parameter is switched off, the width and height of
the design can be changed separately. |
|
|
|
 Rotate:
|
|
The
tool "Rotate" in the vertical toolbar rotates the
current design.
|
| |
 |
| |
| The "Rotate
in degrees" specifies
the degree of rotation; the direction of rotation by default
is anti-clockwise, as shown on the left
drawing. The field can also accept negative numbers. In this
case the direction of the rotation will be clockwise. |
|
|
|
Move
Parts of the design:
|
|
|
You can move one or more objects easily in modular.
You have to select them first and then click
on an area with stitches of the selected objects and drag it
to
the position you want.
When you want to move to a position that
you can't see on the screen, modular changes the view
port automatically during dragging, following the movement
of the mouse (Automatic
panning). The Image map always shows the position of the moved
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
Delete
parts of the design:
|
|
You
can delete
one or more objects easily. Select them and then press the "Delete" button
from the keyboard.
|
| |
Adjust
the density of the objects after resize:
|
|
This
option, adjusts the density of the selected objects
or the entire design (if you haven't selected any object).
You can use this function to match the densities to those
existing before the objects were scaled.
This tool is very important in case you changed the size of certain objects without
keeping the same percentage of stitches. In this case, modular changes
the stitch count of every object, trying to keep the same density that the object
had before the scale operation.
