Scale objects numerically

You can scale artwork, selected objects or a whole design by means of object properties. With design files (EMB), this allows stitches to be regenerated while preserving the original stitch density. An exact size may not be achieved due to pull compensation being added to stitches after scaling operations.

Caution: If you scale a machine file by more than ±10%, however, changes to stitch density will affect the design quality.

To scale objects numerically...

1Select the objects or design to scale.

2In the Property Bar, either:

3Enter an exact height and width, or

3Enter the new height and width as a percentage of current dimensions.
