(If a TrueType Font is selected)
If a TrueType Font is selected, a dialog similar to the one shown below will appear.
Based on the set attributes, all characters for the selected font appear in the Insert Character chart.
Enter characters in the same way that you would enter characters with a built-in font (as explained
above).
NOTE:
Some TrueType fonts may not convert well into beautiful embroidery data due to their design and
shape.
NOTE:
If you need to edit the entered text, you can do so in the
Edit Text dialog which opens when you
execute the Text – Edit Text Letters command. See “Edit Text Letters” on page 170.
Circle and Arc Drawing Mode
The circle or arc drawing mode allows you to create several patterns related to the circle: normal circles
(or ellipses), arcs, fan shapes and arc & strings.
All these patterns, except arcs have an outline and a region inside can independently be assigned differ-
ent sewing attributes. Arcs are simple outlines.
Note that you have to decide which pattern type you want to draw before drawing it. You cannot, for
example, draw a normal circle and change it into an arc afterwards.
