Designer module™ General Information
 
 

OLE II (Object Linking and Embedding technology)

This technology, firstly introduced in digitizing - embroidery software by Wings Systems, allows you to use your favorite vector design package virtually inside modular®.
You can easily design an object in Corel Draw® for example, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it in modular. Therefore, designing a backdrop image is much more sophisticated and more common to every designer. Having in mind that modular can use the most common formats of backdrop designs in the market, OLE-2 technology comes in hand for heavy multiple-object backdrops.
All you have to do is open a vector format drawing in Corel Draw® or Adobe Illustrator™ or in any vector design you use, and after you have created the design, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it in modular for punching. When you activate the OLE II function from modular, you go back to the program, from which the backdrop was copied and there you can edit it.
modular includes additional backdrop properties that are the following:
  • Lightness values: In this section you can change the Brightness, the Gamma and the Contrast of the selected backdrop.
  • Auto-snap in digitize: When this option is enabled the cursor snaps on the vectors or the colors changes of the backdrop. This is very useful because while digitizing the mouse pointer glows at the backdrops edges, helping on accurate line digitizing.
  • Enable selection: When this option is enabled, the backdrop can be selected as a normal object of the design and you can resize or move it.
  • Backdrop is visible: When this option is enabled, the backdrop is visible in the current design.
  • Use in 3D-Preview: When this option is enabled, the backdrop can be viewed while you are in 3D-Preview.
  • Delete:You can delete the selected backdrop.
  • Apply: You can preview the changed properties immediately without having to apply them actually.
