The Smart Design tool includes the different types of objects with their respective fill modes.

It includes several graphic representation modes, such as:

•Normal mode: All elements are drawn with lines of the same thickness

•3D mode: Realistic 3D representation of the design

•3D + Aux mode: Same as 3D mode, but it also shows the image used as reference for digitizing

It includes most of the zoom modes, such as:

•Dynamic Zoom

•Zoom In

•Zoom Out

•Zooms to different Scales

•etc.

Details in Zoom Function

The Grid command controls the visibility of a set of small, equally spaced marks on the workspace. These marks allows you to accurately place objects within your design. You can control many aspects of the grid, such as the distance, mark shape, color, etc. Use the Grid button to turn on/off grid visibility.

Details in Grid Function

We call Guidelines to a set of auxiliary vertical and/or horizontal lines you can set to help with objects alignment and placement.

Details in Guidelines Function

We call references to the set of graphic elements that help you to understand the design on the workspace. You can show/hide (turn on/off) these elements.

•Embroidery

It includes all embroidery objects of any type.

•Bling

It includes all bling objects of any type.

•Auxiliar

Auxiliary objects are raster images, vector images and vector elements (graphics) which are used as background or as references to create the designs objects over it, but they are not part of the final design.

•Printing

Printing objects are raster images, vector images and vector elements (graphics) that will be used for screen-printing or digital printing (they are part of the final design).

•Cutting

Cutting objects are vector elements (graphics) that will be used for cutting on vinyl and laser cutters (they are part of the final design).

•Green indicator

The objects of the selected decoration specialty are displayed in the workspace.

•Red indicator

The objects of the selected decoration specialty are not displayed in the workspace.

By pressing on the drop-down arrow to access the other available options:

Hide...

Hides all the objects of the selected layer (decoration specialty).

Lock...

This function blocks all the objects of the selected layer (Yellow indicator). The objects can be visible but the application won't allow you to select and edit any object of the selected decoration specialty. This feature is very useful when you are digitizing and do not want to move any object of this decoration type by mistake while you create or edit objects of other decoration specialties. Just press this function again to unlock these objects.

Hide all but...

This function makes exactly the opposite to the "Hide" function: it hides all the other layers (decoration specialties) keeping the selected layer as the only visible layer.

Lock all but...

This function makes exactly the opposite to the "Lock" function: it blocks all the other layers (decoration specialties) keeping the selected layer as the only unblocked layer.

Notes:

•When the on-screen simulation (3D) is enabled, the auxiliary objects will become hidden as they are not part of the final design.

•The changes on the status of these indicators will be also reflected on the Document Map. Blocked objects will appear grayed out. Hidden objects will not appear on the respective tab.
