"I am trying to change colors for some objects but they don’t appear on the color worksheet in the Design Panel."
Colors for multicolor gradient density are only visible when Design Property Colors is selected in the Design Panel. Select Design Property Colors to see the colors, and change them there, or by selecting the pattern fill area and changing its properties. Similarly, the border color for a fill plus border area can be edited on the color worksheet or on the line tab in the properties box.
"I have inserted a new point and moved an outline but there is still an outline in the old position."
Some functions in the Quick Create tab create more than one outline at a time, such as, Double and Quadruple Trace. For example, Quadruple Trace puts lines of triple and running stitches directly on top of each other. This means that if you want to add and move a new point to change a Quadruple Trace then you will have to do so twice, once for each of the lines.
"I have pasted a block but it is not the original color."
A color change is only copied when it is part of the selected block. If you paste a block that does not start with a color change then it will use the color that is active at the point where the block is pasted. If you want to preserve the color, either copy the relevant color change or use the FilmStrip to insert the desired color.
"I lose my selected block when I move the Start or End slider bar."
This happens because you could move the slider bar so that part of the selected block would be hidden. This is avoided by automatically deselecting the block.
"I did not select all the objects I wanted with Box, Point or Freehand Select."
Objects must be fully enclosed by the selection line to be selected as part of a block. If even the smallest part of an object is outside the line then it will not be selected.
"I have created satin line with Satin Line Trace but I can't change the width of it all at once."
Use the FilmStrip and/or slider bars to hide all objects except the satin borders and traveling running stitch used to create the trace. Select any satin line object in the trace, then right-click in the FilmStrip and select Global Properties. The Satin Line properties dialog box will appear. Make adjustments as desired and click OK. The new properties will be applied to all visible satin lines. Alternatively, if working within a group, use Select Similar from Group to apply the settings to all other objects of the same stitch type within the group.
"Color Tolerance does not show me all the lines that will be traced by a QuickTrace function."
The dashed line used by Color Tolerance only shows the outside of the area that is selected by the current Color Tolerance value. Simply try the QuickTrace function and if the result is not satisfactory then Undo the result and retry the trace with a higher Color Tolerance.
"There is no underlay under a fill area."
Underlay is set to none when you select Gradient or Multi-Gradient Density for a pattern fill area. This is because the underlay stitching will spoil the effect of Gradient or Multi-Gradient Density. If you change an area from gradient density to Standard density, reset the Underlay if desired.
"Why did my fill areas vanish when I selected the Columns filter?"
Fill areas surrounded by a satin line will be hidden when the Columns filter is used, as well as Columns and Satin Lines.
