Learning about the Workspace 19

Simulator

The Simulator makes it easy to see on-screen how your design
will sew out. You can use the Simulator to eliminate potential
sewing problems.
When you select Simulator from the View tab of the Ribbon, the
Simulator (scrollbar slider and the sewing simulator) will appear
at the bottom of the design space. The Simulator controls which
parts of the design are drawn in the design window.
You can also open and close the Simulator by pressing Ctrl + R.
Scrollbar Slider
The length of the scrollbar slider represents all of the stitches in
the opened design. You can move the scrollbar slider by
dragging it to see a design as it will look sewn to a particular
point. The color display within the scrollbar indicates the thread
color that will be sewn when the scrollbar slider is positioned
over it. Clicking on the arrows at the ends of the scrollbar will
advance or retrace the design position by one stitch.
Sewing Simulator
The sewing simulator allows you to watch your design draw on
a stitch-by-stitch basis, simulating the sewing action of your
machine. The Simulator controls include pause, stop, sew
forward and sew backwards. You can push various control
buttons and slide the speed control to vary the rate of sewing.
