the semi-automatic block-type punch tool.
If there is no image, this tool will create a
punching pattern like the straight block-
type punch tool.
• Once the pattern is drawn, you can still
transform straight block-type patterns into
curved block-type patterns and vice versa.
For details, refer to "Transforming straight
lines into curves or curves into straight
lines" on page 137.
• You can also use the settings in the
Sewing Attribute Setting dialog box and
the Text Attribute Setting dialog box to
define other attributes of the text. (For
more details, refer to "Specifying sewing
attributes" on page 171 and "Specifying
text attributes" on page 157.) If you do not
change these settings at this time, the
current settings will be applied, however
you can modify them later.
