Use Show Coordinates to show and hide the Stitch Coordinates dialog, which shows the coordinates of stitch points. This can also be used to change stitch point positions by editing x and y coordinates.
Note: This is an advanced function that can be used to help find individual stitches or commands.
The Stitch Coordinates dialog shows the technical details of the stitches in the current Draw Range. Either absolute (related to the start point of the embroidery) or relative coordinates (related to the previous stitch) may be displayed.
While the Stitch Coordinates dialog is open, you can change the Draw Range as required and the Stitch Coordinates dialog will show the relevant stitches and commands.
The X, Y and Length columns are shown in millimeters or inches, according to the Show Measurements setting in mySewnet™ Configure.
