Group lines:

The Stitches or Steps input format is used.

1: Select all lines of the group to be formed in the table.

2: Click on the button in the table toolbar.

The group is formed. Each group is allocated a consecutive number. This number is shown in the Group column. In the Group factor column only the input field of the first group line is available, and all other lines are highlighted in gray and no longer available. Changes to the value are effective for all lines of the group.

The group can be deactivated with the same button. To do this, select any line within the group.

The cycle for the stepping of the line is shown in the table lines.
The steps are only displayed in the Lines input format. To change these, you have to convert the shape to the Stitches input format. To do this use the Convert and Save As function in the File menu (*.shp).
Modified lines will get in the lines table.
If you change the stitch density of a lined shape (*.shv), the lines will automatically be converted to straight .
The entire steps of all lines are shown in their height and width in the first line of the table. No input fields are present in this line.

The line editor is opened with an empty table for a shape line for which there are still no specifications. The lines are inserted automatically when using the curve functions Straight, J curve or S curve (buttons in the toolbar).
If you want to define your own steppings, then insert the corresponding lines with the button.
