From top to bottom: - Select and Transform Tool - Edit Edges Tool - Zoom Tool - Zoom 1:1 Tool - Create Fill Object Tool - Create Fill Opening Tool - Create Column Object Tool - Create Column with Pattern Tool - Create Outline Object Tool - Create Manual Stitches Tool - Create Connection Object Tool - Create Appliqué Object Tool - Create Appliqué Opening Tool

Create Fill Opening can be used only after Create Fill Object or previous Fill Opening object.  It does not appear in Object Inspector window as a separate object and cannot be selected directly on the Working Area. To select the Fill Opening object for transformation, use the Part Inspector window. The same thing applies for Appliqué Opening object.

Opening can be added only to last object in the Object Inspector list. To add an Opening to existing Fill Object that is not the last created object (it is not last item in list) drag and drop the Fill object in Object Inspector window, so that it is last object. Then add Opening and drag and drop the Fill to its original position in the list. Use right mouse button to drag and drop objects in Object Inspector. 

The Fill, Fill Opening, Outline, Connection and Manual Stitches objects have just one side (edge). Fill and Fill Opening side must form a closed loop, which means that their last point must be placed on top of their first point.

The Column Object, Column with Pattern and Appliqué Object always have two sides (edges). If Finish Object or editing functions are not available (grayed out) more than likely the second side of object has not been drawn.

When Appliqué Opening object is used after main Appliqué object, the program generates stitches this way: 1. marking stitches of both main object and hole, 2. tack-down stitches of both main object and hole, 3. cover stitches of both main object and the hole. If there would be another Appliqué object instead of Appliqué Opening object, program would generate all three layers for first object and then all three layers for second object. The opening would be covered by fabric.
