Zig-Zag parameters
for existing punching objects: |
| |
 |
| |
With zig-zag stitch type you can add a
punching object of zig-zag stitches. In this case, a smooth curve
connects the nodes that you are adding. The most important thing
in using zig- zag is that you have to add the node points in pairs.
The program automatically adds the direction of stitches which connect
a pair of nodes. The direction of the stitches can be edited independently
of the node placements. |
| |
The parameters that you can change in
this type of punching are: |
| |
- The density
- The type of the underlays
- If there would be fix and lock stitches at the start/end of
the objects.
- The percentages of the compensation
- Half pitch compensation.
- If corners should be made where needed.
- The Variable pitch
|

|
Density: |
| |
In this parameter you can specify the
density of the zig-zag stitches that you are adding. |
| |
|
|
Underlays: |
| |
In this parameter you can select the underlay
you want to use. To select or change the underlay you have to click
on this field and select one of the following types: |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Fix & Lock stitches: |
| |
With this parameter you can specify whether
the program will lock the stitches at the start or end of the selected
objects. The lock stitches are small stitches that keep the thread
from unraveling off the fabric. If you want to change this option
you can select one of the available options: |
| |
- None: In this case there will be no lock stitches
at the start or end of the selected objects.
- Fix: In this case the lock stitches will be
placed at the beginning of the selected objects.
- Lock: In this case these stitches will be
placed at the end of the selected objects.
- Fix & Lock: In this case these stitches
will be placed at both the beginning and the end of the selected
objects.

|
|
Compensation: |
| |
The compensation parameter has to do with
the tendency of a punching object to shrink in itself in the stitching
direction. This means that sometimes you have to adjust your digitized
design from its original position. With the compensation you can
specify the percentage of the movement of the stitches, in order
to cover its shrink in. |
| |
|
| |
Half pitch compensation: |
| |
In case that this logical parameter is
set as Yes the program will start placing the stitches after a half
of thread thickness. |
| |
|
|
Corners: |
| |
In this logical parameter you can activate
or disable the corners on the current object. The corners are needed
in case that there is steep change of the direction of satin and
there are curve break nodes on the outlines. The corners that would
be made depends on the shape of the outlines |
| |
|
|
Variable pitch: |
| |
The program will balance the density sensitivity
when an object narrows in size according to the percentage you have
set in this field. |
