Use Multi-Hooping > Add Splitting Line to split objects between hoopings in multi-hoop layouts. Digitize guides over uncovered parts of a design. |
The Add Splitting Line tool allows you to split objects that would not otherwise fit within a hooping. In effect, it allows you to digitize one or more split lines in a multi-hooped design prior to outputting to file, machine or memory card. Although split lines are only visible in Multi-Hooping, they are maintained when switching to other modes. Split lines do not affect object integrity and you can still reshape and transform split objects as before.
Manually create your multiple hoopings.
While a design may be entirely covered by separate hoop positions, some objects may remain uncovered. Uncovered stitching appears in black.
Select the Add Splitting Line tool. You are prompted to enter a split line.
Digitize split lines just as you would open curve objects, using right-clicks for curves and left-clicks for corner points.
As long as splits occur within the sewing field of overlapping hoopings, the resultant ‘split objects’ become covered and are displayed in green.
Objects integrity is maintained but they will be split on output. The resulting objects will preserve their original object type, stitch angle, parameters and color.
Repeat as necessary or press Enter to complete.
Split lines can be reshaped using the Reshape tool.
