Bottom Right-Hand Button Cluster

The four buttons in the bottom right-hand corner

of the Design screens help to keep track of changes

made to the design (Figure 5.2).

Undo

Press the Undo button to undo the last function

performed.

Redo

The Redo button will be grayed out until the Undo

button has been pressed. Redo will redo the last

function that was undone.

History

Press the History button to show a list of all the

functions that have been performed since opening

a design (Figure 5.3). The list may be dragged up or

down to reveal more of the history. The item at the

top of the list is the first function performed and

the item at the bottom of the list is the last function.

Press any of the history items to return the design to

the state it was when that function was performed.

Baseline

It is important to understand the Baseline feature

because the Pro-Stitcher software allows for a lot

of flexibility in the design process. For example, a

design can be forced to skew within an area and

then that same design can be rotated and as it

rotates, it continues to skew to keep it within the

area. This is because each function that is performed

is reprocessed and reapplied when the next function

is performed.

If there comes a point in the design process that the

quilter wants to freeze the design as it is and have

the software treat it as a new design, simply press

the Baseline button. All rotations, repeats, resizing,

cropping, etc. are frozen in their current state and

the design can then be treated as a new unaltered

design.

One useful situation for using the Baseline function

is marking a quilt with multiple identical blocks.

Mark the area of the first block, fit the design to

the block using Skew or other functions, and then

baseline the design. Now the Area can be cleared

and the design will maintain its shape. It can be

repositioned to the other blocks throughout

the quilt.

Another case for using Baseline may be when a

quilter wants to crop multiple shapes from a design.

The first area is marked and cropped, followed by

selecting Baseline. Then clear the area and create a

new area in another location for cropping. Continue

marking and cropping the regions desired, followed

by selecting Baseline after each crop to create

multiple cropped regions in a design.
