A color block corresponds to a color stop in the design. It may contain a single object or group of like-objects – e.g. ‘ropes’. Or it may be comprised of different objects of like-color – e.g. ‘ropes and birds’. The Color-Object List offers an easy way to selectively view color blocks and embroidery objects. The View by Color function also lets you view objects by color. The Colorway Editor provides another method for selective viewing of color blocks.
Click the Color-Object List icon. The Color-Object List can be docked to the either side of the design window, or floated in any position.
Click the switch to view the list by color block.
Select a color block or blocks and click Locate and hold.
Selectively hide or ‘unhide’ selected color blocks and embroidery objects using popup menu commands.
Alternatively, to isolate a color block in the design window, click and hold it in the Color toolbar. First press Esc to deselect all objects.
Alternatively, select View > View by Color. Select the colors you want to view. This function will not work with grouped objects.
Alternatively, click the Colorway Editor. Select a color block and click Locate and hold.
To reveal all hidden objects press Esc followed by press Shift+S or select View > View all Colors.
