Working with object properties

BERNINA V9 stores three sets of object properties: default, current and existing.

Note  Some object properties can be modified on-screen; for example, you can change the size properties by scaling the object with the selection handles. Other properties, such as stitch spacing or length, are modified in the Object Properties dialog.

Default object properties

Default object properties are the properties stored in a design template and become the starting settings used when creating a new design based on that template.

Current object properties

Current object properties are the settings used to create new objects. Unless you change these settings, they remain the same as the template defaults. You generally change them to save time when digitizing. For example, you may preset the Step stitch spacing setting to use a specific density for all new Step objects you create.

Note  The change affects new objects in the design, not the template itself. To apply changes to all new designs based on the current template, you need to change the default – not the current – properties.

Properties of existing objects

Properties of existing objects are the settings stored with each object in the design.
