The select functions in the toolbar allow you to select an area of stitches. A selection can be rotated in 90 degree steps, mirrored, moved, copied and cut.
Note: The select functions may not be used to make new selections when the Multiply function is active.
When stitches are selected, they have a selection box around them on the design area. Drag inside the selection box to move it.
Note: When making a selection, only stitches that are on grid points that are completely enclosed by the selection line are included in the selection. If the selection line crosses freehand backstitch lines, the freehand backstitch are not included as you have not completely enclosed both ends.
When a new selection is added to a design by paste, insert design or the text functions, it is automatically selected and Box Select is activated.
Click the work area outside a block to deselect it. The selection box around the block disappears and the selection becomes part of the design. Any colors in the selection that were not in the palette are added to the palette.
Selections are also automatically deselected when any new selection is added to the design, or when other functions that affect the design are activated.
