Option

Purpose

Horizontal repeats (design repeat)

If Design Repeat is selected, the physical distance of the repeat is automatically calculated. The repeat distance is typically a multiple factor of the needle distance – 4/4 - 27,07mm, 8/4 - 54.14, etc.

Note: Make sure that you have already selected the design repeat. See To define the design repeat... for details.

Horizontal repeats (other)

If you select Other, you need to type the distance setting in mm. This facility is provided for users who are doing continuous design work on multihead systems.

Vertical repeats

This setting is not pre-defined like the design repeat. You need to specify vertical repeat distance as well as number of repeats.

Colors

To help you distinguish on screen the original design from the repeat patterns, the facility exists to display the repeats in different colors. Here you can enter a color offset to indicate the start of the repetition. Let’s say you have a 4-color design using palette colors 1, 2, 3, 4. If you set Offset to 5, repeating colors will display as 5, 6, 7, 8.

5Click OK.

Note: Design repeats will not display while TrueView™ is activated.
