   Entering text

   The [Text] tab appears when a user-mapped text pattern or the User-mapped text tool is selected.

The settings for all user-mapped text attributes except the font are specified in the same way that they are specified for regular text patterns.

However, with user-mapped text, the following parameters, commands or operations cannot be used.

• Sew type
• Sewing Attributes
• Font Filter
• TTF Settings
• Convert to Blocks
• Convert to Outline
• Some editing of individual characters
• Name Drop
• Changing colors
• Some transform functions
  • To edit entered user-mapped text, select the user-mapped text with the [Select] tool, and then type the new text into the text field in the [Text Attributes] pane. There are three other ways to edit text.

    Editing entered text

  • To change the color of text, perform either of the following operations.
    • Click [Convert to Stitches] on the [Text] tab to convert the text pattern to a stitch pattern whose thread colors can be changed. However, the text data will no longer be available.
    • Change colors in the embroidery data of the original .pes file.

  Enlarging or reducing user-mapped text from the standard character height may reduce the embroidery quality.
