If you pause the simulation, you can use the "Locate" button (11) to locate the current stitch in complex design.

If you decide to split the design on current stitch, use "Split" button (12).

In case the design does not fit the hoop, use "Hoop Size" button (10) to change the hoop size.

Speed of the simulation can be controlled by "Stitches per second" box (13).

Stitch process bar (14) shows the colors of design and simulation progress. The blue lines above the bar represent jump stitches, the magenta lines below the bar represent trims. You can click anywhere across the bar to move the pointer (current stitch) to this place.
