Object Types - Janome DigitizerPro Instruction Book

This section describes how to strengthen and stabilize designs with underlays
and how to compensate for fabric stretch. It also explains how to change fabric
settings of existing designs. It also covers how to apply, create and maintain
templates in EasyDesign.
Objects and object details
Designs created in EasyDesign are composed of
'embroidery objects'. They are called 'objects'
because they are discrete entities which can be
manipulated independently of each other. Each
object has certain defining properties or 'details'
such as color, size, position, and so on. The most
important property of an embroidery object is its
stitch type. Other important properties include
underlay type and pull

Object types

Different digitizing methods or 'tools' are suited to
creating different shapes or design elements.
These in turn translate into different object types.
Like digitizing methods, object types divide
broadly into two categories – outline and fill. A
third 'manual' type cannot be created in
EasyDesign but it is recognized when you open a
SEW or JEF stitch file. See also
Design Files.
The Resequence List shown above provides a
sequential list of objects
'color block'. It is a 'modeless' dialog meaning that
it stays on the Design Window as long as you need
it and offers an easy way to select objects and view
them. See also Selecting and viewing objects with
the Resequence List.

Object Type Description
The Run Line tool creates lines of single or
triple run stitching. This tool is typically
used to add borders to designs.The objects
created are known collectively as Run Line
objects.
The Turning Angle Fill tools create columns
of varying width with turning stitches.
Different effects can be applied to these
objects. Collectively they are known as
Turning Angle Fill objects.
The Border tool creates borders and
outlines using Satin stitch. Typically it is
used for columns and borders of fixed width
with larger shapes. Collectively these
objects are known as Border objects.
The Parallel Fill tools create large and
complex shapes generally with fixed rather
than turning stitch angles. Most shapes can
be digitized with these tools. Collectively
these objects are known as Parallel Fill
objects.
The Circle Fill tools are a variant on Parallel
Fill tools used to quickly digitize circles and
ovals with a few clicks. Collectively these
objects are known as Circle Fill objects.
When you open a stitch format file,
EasyDesign attempts to reconstruct object
outlines from stitch data contained in the
file. Manual stitches are the result if the
software is unable to recognize stitches as
a supported object type.
When you create designs using the
Click-to-Design tools, particularly with
automatic outlines, you will see this
'branched object' icon in the Resequence
List. Objects are resequenced and
connectors minimized. All component
objects are grouped to form a single
'branched object'. You can apply a single
underlay to all.

objects can be modified in EasyDesign. Even
Manual objects can be modified. When you
