Embird Cross Stitch -
Work Area
Work Area is the biggest area located in the
middle of the screen (Picture No. 1). You create the cross stitch
design either manually (by putting the
crosses into a grid and drawing the outlines using various tools from Design Toolbar),
or automatically from background image (see
more in Embird Cross Stitch - Set Size of
Image tutorial). When the design is finished,
each pixel
will be compiled into cross.
If you choose some tool, e.g. Pen, the left mouse
button will paint with Cross Color 1 and the right mouse button
will paint with Cross
Color 2. You can change these colors in Design Toolbar.
The tools for creating outlines (back stitch lines) will paint with Outline
Color. You can change this
color in Design Toolbar.
Normally, the color of Work Area is white. You can change the Background
Color in Design Toolbar.
Use "View -> Zoom In" and "View -> Zoom Out"
commands to change the view size.
Around the Work Area are the Rulers - you can switch them ON/OFF
via "View -> Rulers" menu.
Use "Image -> Import" command if you want to put some image
into the background of Work Area. To show/hide the background image use
"View -> Image or Chart" menu.
Use "Chart -> Import" command if you want to put an aligned
cross chart into the background of Work Area. To show/hide the background image use
"View -> Image or Chart" menu. Find more details about
importing chart in Embird Cross Stitch -
Importing Chart tutorial.
