Coordinates

Use Coordinates

to show and hide the Stitch Coordinates dialog box, which shows the coordinates of stitch points. This can also be used to change stitch point positions by editing x and y coordinates.

The Stitch Coordinates dialog box shows the technical details of the Start and End stitches in the current Draw Range. Five stitches are shown at each end of the Draw Range, with the first and last visible stitch indicated by an asterisk. Either absolute (related to the start point of the embroidery) or relative coordinates (related to the previous stitch) may be displayed.

While the Stitch Coordinates dialog box is open, you can change the Draw Range as required and the Coordinates dialog box will show the relevant stitches and commands.

The X, Y and Length columns are shown in millimeters or inches, according to the Show Measurements setting in mySewnet™ Configure.

This is an advanced function that can be used to help find individual stitches or commands.
