Understanding the
Xpressive Workspace
The Xpressive workspace contains several
areas. The screen below shows the
Xpressive workspace.

Title Bar

The Title Bar appears at top of the Xpressive
design window and the top of a minimized
design workspace. When you open a design,
the design's name, recipe (style), machine
format settings, and design information are
displayed in the title bar. The number of
thread colors in a design as well as its stitch
count are automatically updated in the title
bar. A design's stitch count is consistent with
the stitch count printed or sewn out using the
specified machine format settings.

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar appears below the Title Bar.
The Menu Bar contains a list of menus
specific to Xpressive.

Status Bar

The Status Bar appears at the bottom of the
Xpressive design window. On the left-side of
the status bar, the color palette shows the
thread colors used in the active design. You
will also find specific design information in
other areas of the status bar. For example,
the status bar shows the design dimensions
of the active segment or stitch, the scale of
zoom, the names of segments, etc.
