Piping / Running / Manual parameters:


The parameters of Piping, Running and Manual stitch types that are contained in Digitize module are listed below.

	Piping parametersfor existing punching objects:

	With piping stitch type you can add a punching object of piping stitches. In this case, a smooth curve connects the nodes that you are adding. The program automatically adds the direction of stitches which connect a pair of nodes. The direction of the stitches can be edited independently of the node placements.
	The parameters that you can change in this type of punching are:
	The density The length If there would be fix and lock stitches at the start/end of the objects.

	Density:
	With this parameter you can specify the distance between the lines of stitches of piping. The number of this field shows the distance between one line of stitches and the line after its next, as you can see on the following draw.



	Length:
	In this parameter you can specify the length of every stitch of Piping.

	Fix & Lock stitches:
	With this parameter you can specify whether the program will lock the stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. The lock stitches are small stitches that keep the thread from unraveling off the fabric. If you want to change this option you can select one of the available options:
	None: In this case there will be no lock stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. Fix: In this case the lock stitches will be placed at the beginning of the selected objects. Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at the end of the selected objects. Fix & Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at both the beginning and the end of the selected objects.

	Running parameters for existing punching objects:

	With Running stitch type you can add a series of running stitches. In this case, a smooth curve connects the nodes that you are adding.
	The parameters that you can change in this type of punching are:
	The length If there would be fix and lock stitches at the start/end of the objects.

	Length:
	In this parameter you can specify the length of the stitches for the punching object that you are adding.

	Fix & Lock stitches:
	With this parameter you can specify whether the program will lock the stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. The lock stitches are small stitches that keep the thread from unraveling off the fabric. If you want to change this option you can select one of the available options:
	None: In this case there will be no lock stitches at the start or end of the selected objects. Fix: In this case the lock stitches will be placed at the beginning of the selected objects. Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at the end of the selected objects. Fix & Lock: In this case these stitches will be placed at both the beginning and the end of the selected objects.

	Manual parameters for existing punching objects:

	By selecting manual stitch type and then clicking on the digitize button you can add manual stitches. With this stitch, a straight line connects the nodes that you are adding.
	The parameters that you can change in this type of punching are:
	The maximum length

	Maximum length:
	In this parameter you can specify the maximum length of the stitches that you are adding.
