Box Select

Use Box Select Box_Select_icon_cp00843.jpg to select stitches in a rectangular area. Click Box Select and the pointer changes to the box select pointer Box_Block_pointer00845.jpg. Click and drag around the area you want to select. When you release the mouse button, the block will show you the extent of the selection. Click outside the block to make a new selection using this method.

The block can be moved, scaled, mirrored horizontally and vertically and rotated. The block can be copied or cut to the clipboard and then pasted to the same or another design. The block can also be deleted.

Box Select is also activated automatically when an embroidery is opened and inserted on the work area, and when a block is pasted.

Use Add to Selection Add_To_Selection_icon.jpg with any select function to increase the area of selected stitches, or use Remove From Selection Remove_From_Selection_icon.jpg to make the currently selected area smaller.

If the wrong area is selected, click the work area outside the box to deselect.
