Select a Place to Insert New Objects
To add stitch objects such as areas, lines and columns between existing objects, select an object in the FilmStrip or work area, then create the new object. The new object is placed below the object that you selected. If you select an object within a group, the new objects will be created as part of that group.
Unless you choose a new color, the color of newly inserted objects will be the same as the object above them.
Use the display options on the Edit tab or the right-click context menu to hide objects that you do not want to change.
The color worksheet, object filters and Draw Range are also useful to isolate an object so that it is easier to select the desired insertion point.
Insertion Markers
When a Freehand Create or Point Create tool is selected, a marker shows the location of the last point of the preceding object. This is where new objects will be inserted:
-
When objects will be added to the end of the design, the marker is pink
. -
When objects are to be inserted (i.e. the selected object is not the last object in the design), the marker showing the final point of the selected object is green
. -
When objects are to be inserted, an orange marker
shows the position of the first point in the next object in the design.
