    • If the mouse is outside of the centre, then the view moves in the corresponding direction as long as you press the spacebar.
    • The further you move the mouse with pressed spacebar outwards, the faster the view moves in this direction.

  • If the image is loaded for a fabric piece, then it will be inserted corresponding to the stitch density defined in the shape.
  • If the image is loaded independently from an existing shape, then the Importazione immagine dialog box appears.
    You can load the image with or without stitch density.
