Use Edit > Break Apart to split composite objects – monograms, appliqués, lettering, etc – into component objects.

The Break Apart tool allows you to break up composite objects – monograms, appliqués, lettering, etc. The effect on these objects is similar to ungrouping.

Note: When saved into earlier versions of the software, monograms, appliqués, lettering, and blackwork runs may be subjected to the Break Apart procedure by default.

To break apart a composite object...

1Select the object you want to break apart – e.g. branched object, appliqué, monogram, lettering, etc.

Tip: To modify individual objects – e.g. to change the stitching sequence of monogram borders – use the Color-Object List to ungroup and resequence.

Tip: Applying the Break Apart function to a lettering object breaks it into a logical stitching sequence while maintaining lettering object characteristics.
