“String rotate angle”: the rotating angle for whole letter string.

“Char height scale”: increase or reduce the height of letter.

“Char width scale”: increase or reduce the width of letter.

“Density”: means distance between each stitch within letter design. The value is smaller, the density is higher.

The centre of screen is the area to show letter design.

Generally, user should set the parameters, such as whole arrangement method of letter string, rotate angle of letter string and interval of letter string (The keys of the first three rows at the right side of the screen); select the very letter, and then adjust the arrangement parameter of that individual letter.

Letter design display window: the crosses at centre are the coordinate; intersection is origin (0,0). The letter rank surrounds the origin automatically.

View and File Operation

“Stitch Form”: show/hide the stitch form. Hiding the stitch form can improve operation speed.

“Angle follow”: When user ranks the letters in arc, the letter angle will change along with the position of arc (letters will be vertical to the arc)

“Increase Radian”: When user ranks the letters in arc, this key can enlarge the radian of reference arc

“Reduce Radian”: When user ranks the letters in arc, this key can reduce the radian of reference arc

“Whole Anticlockwise Rotate”: Anticlockwise rotate the whole letter bound

“Whole Clockwise Rotate”: Clockwise rotate the whole letter bound

“Extend Letter Interval”: Increase the interval between the letters

“ReduceLetter Interval”: Reduce the interval between the letters

Keys for Selecting Letter at Adjustment

“Selection Switch”: switch the selected letters. User has to select a certain letter and then to carry out the edition for it. The red“＋”in the center of letter means the letter has been selected . The system will pick out all letters as default. After user clicks the “select switch” key, the system will pick up the first letter, and then pick up the second, depending on this kind to push.
