Hide Object Types

The Hide Object Types (filter) buttons are used to hide and show the objects in the design according to the type of object and/or by color block sequence. When a filter is used to hide objects, the objects are hidden in the work area and the FilmStrip.

The filters are: Lines

, Fills

, Satin Areas

, Columns

, Single Stitches

, Stops and Colors

, Groups

and Appliqués

If there are no objects of the relevant type in the design, or they are all already hidden by other means, the filter button cannot be clicked down.

Lines

Use the Lines filter

to hide and show Running, Double and Triple Stitches, Motif Lines and Tapered Motifs.

Single Stitches
