Multi-Touch Gestures

Multi-Touch gestures are used when viewing and moving designs in mySewnet™ Cross Stitcher.

Autoscroll

You can autoscroll on a portable Mac’s Multi-Touch trackpad, a Magic Trackpad or a Magic Mouse.

When you drag within a document, the autoscroll feature moves the pointer automatically, changing the view of the work area. This is useful when zoomed in. Use autoscroll while moving or adjusting selected stitches.

Note: The scroll bars may only appear when you are scrolling. To always show the scroll bars, choose Apple Menu > System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars: Always.

Pinch to zoom

You can use Pinch to zoom on a trackpad to zoom in and out.

Note: You must set the trackpad scroll and zoom options to Zoom in or out. See Customizing Multi-Touch Gestures on a Trackpad.

Secondary click for Control–click

You can set a secondary click for Control–click when using a trackpad or the Magic Mouse. A short video demonstrates how to use these gestures.
