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.

To view selected color blocks...

3Click 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.

3Click the switch to view the list by color block.
