the list.
The items to which you can input values differ from the
selected outline type as follows.
Straight Line, Spline,
Arc, Polygon
Rectangle
Circle
Center Circle
Ellipse
Open Outline/Close Outline
Select Close Outline to close an outline. Select Open
Outline to leave it open.
When this is selected, values you input will be the distance
from the origin (0) of the design area's X-Y coordinates.
The relative distance from the point specified previously.
When this is selected, The Reference Point group box just
below is available.
Select the reference point of the data from the drop-down list
for inputting relative coordinates. The absolute values of the
specified point are shown in the boxes at right.
When Sewing Area Center is selected for example, the first
point's values you input in the input box below will be the
relative distance from the center of the sewing area.
NOTE: If nothing has been selected in the drop-down list,
specify the first reference point by inputting the absolute value
in the boxes at right. If no value is inputted, (0, 0) is
automatically applied.
Input values for points to define the paths of the outline. (One
row/point.)
X(mm): The horizontal distance
Y(mm): The vertical distance
Angle(°)/Length(mm): Specify the angle and length of the
87/164
The coordinates of the maximum
of 50 points can be inputted
continuously.
Only two points (for the upper-left
and lower right corners, or the
lower-left and upper-right corners)
can be inputted.
Only three points on the
circumference of a circle can be
inputted.
The coordinates of the center of a
circle and the radius can be
inputted.
The coordinates of the center of an
ellipse, the length of major and
minor axes and the tilt angle can be
inputted.
(+ in the clockwise direction, - in
the counterclockwis e direction.)
