 Scale:
|
 |
The tool "Scale" on the vertical toolbar changes the size of the current design. |
| |
 |
| |
On the left hand side of the dialogue ("X" axis and "Y" axis) you can scale the design as a percentage of the current size. When changing the percentage on the scale, the "X" and "Y" fields (on the right side) are also being changed. If the change is more than 100%, the design will be enlarged, if less than 100%, it will be shrunk.
On the right hand side of the dialogue you can see the size of the design. You can also change the scale using these fields. |
| |
| The "Proportional scaling" option gives the opportunity to change the size of the current design by locking the relationship between the horizontal and the vertical scales so that a change to one dimension will automatically keep the design in proportion. If this parameter is switched off, the width and height of the design can be changed separately. |
|
|
 Rotate:
|
|
The tool "Rotate" in the vertical toolbar rotates the current design. |
| |
 |
| |
| The "Rotate in degrees" specifies the degree of rotation; the direction of rotation by default is anti-clockwise, as shown on the left drawing. The field can also accept negative numbers. In this case the direction of the rotation will be clockwise. |
|
|
Move Parts of the design:
|
|
|
You can move one or more objects easily in modular. You have to select them first and then click on an area with stitches of the selected objects and drag it to the position you want.
When you want to move to a position that you can't see on the screen, modular changes the view port automatically during dragging, following the movement of the mouse (Automatic panning). The Image map always shows the position of the moved objects. |
|
|
|
Delete parts of the design:
|
|
You can delete one or more objects easily. Select them and then press the "Delete" button from the keyboard. |
| |
Adjust the density of the objects after resize:
|
|
This option, adjusts the density of the selected objects or the entire design (if you haven't selected any object). You can use this function to match the densities to those existing before the objects were scaled.
This tool is very important in case you changed the size of certain objects without keeping the same percentage of stitches. In this case, modular changes the stitch count of every object, trying to keep the same density that the object had before the scale operation. |
