Change object properties

ObjectProperties00007.png 

Use Docker > Object Properties to preset properties or adjust properties of selected objects.

You can change an object’s properties at any time without affecting those of any other object not currently selected. Some properties can be modified on screen – for example, you can change size by scaling an object with selection handles. Other properties, such as stitch spacing or length, are modified via the Object Properties docker.

To change object properties...

1Select the object/s whose properties you want to change.

2Use any of the interactive techniques for scaling, transforming, or reshaping selected object/s.

3Adjust general properties – width, height, position – by means of the Property Bar. Press Enter to confirm or Esc to discard.

Usage tips...

3If you select more than one object, the Object Properties docker only displays settings relevant to all. If selected objects have different values for the same setting – e.g. stitch length – the field will be blank. If you enter a new value, it applies to all selected objects.

3Some properties, such as Auto Underlay, are applied by means of toolbar buttons. When the button is selected, that tool’s settings are current.

3Optionally, click Save. The object properties are saved to the current template. These will apply to new objects in any design based on this template unless overridden by fabric settings.
