Selecting and Editing Objects

Select, transform, duplicate, delete, recolor, and configure compatible embroidery objects.

Select artwork

Use Select / Edit and click an object on the canvas or in Objects. Shift-based or marquee multi-selection is available for shared operations. The selection box provides move, resize, and rotate interaction where applicable.

Make changes

  1. Select one or more objects.
  2. Move with the canvas or arrow keys; resize or rotate with handles, or use toolbar transforms.
  3. Use Duplicate or Delete in Order when needed.
  4. Change color/thread and choose compatible fill, outline/running, or satin settings.
  5. For a single-object exception, disable Use global stitch settings and adjust its local values.

Only settings compatible with the selected type and mode appear. Groups expose shared operations; open paths do not show fill-only controls; multi-selection can limit object-specific editing. Recalculate after edits when the preview is marked out of date.
