Cross Stitch parameters:


	Cross-Stitch parameters for existing punching objects:

	With this stitch type you can add an object made of cross stitches. When the Cross stitch type is selected, the mouse becomes as pencil and with click and drag you can select the area (rectangle) that will be covered with cross stitch.
	The parameters that you can change in this type of punching are:
	The Width of the cross stitches. The Height of the cross stitches. If there would be Fix/Lock stitches at the start/end of the objects. The repeats that you want. If Short/Long stitches will be made. The starting point of the current object.

	Cell width:
	In this parameter you can specify the width of the cross stitches. When the cross stitch area (rectangle) is set, this number specifies how many crosses will be placed horizontally. The smaller the number the more the cells that will be placed.

	Cell height:
	In this parameter you can specify the height of the cross stitches. When the cross stitch area (rectangle) is set, this number specifies how many crosses will be placed vertically. The smaller the number the more the cells that will be placed.

	Fix & Lock stitches:
	With this parameter you can specify whether the program will lock the stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. The lock stitches are small stitches that keep the thread from unraveling off the fabric. If you want to change this option you should click on this field and on the following menu select one of the available options:
	None: In this case there will be no lock stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. Fix: In this case the lock stitches will be placed at the beginning of the selected objects. Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at the end of the selected objects. Fix & Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at both the beginning and the end of the selected objects.

	Repeats:
	In this parameter you can specify how many stitches will be needed for every cross stitch.

	Short /Long:
	This logical parameter is relative with the number of repeats. If there were more than one repeats set, with this field you can specify if the stitches after every repeat will be placed on the same position or not. If this parameter is enabled, the stitches having the same direction will not have the same length.

	Closest point:
	With this logical parameter you can specify if the starting point of the current object will be the closest point to the end point of the previous object.
