Introduction to Autodigitizing (Tutorial 1)
Getting Started with Basic Editing
Converting a Standard Design to an Applique.
|
|
This is an introductory tutorial to the Autodigitizing program which is sold by Husqvarna Viking- this software is quite complex so it includes an overview of the icons in the main window, and looks at basic editing and some manual punching tools. Carolyn has taken a Pfaff openwork design and converted it into an applique design.
Aspects covered include manually creating a line, changing properties, use of the navigation window, sorting and changing colours, importing and exporting designs, editing lines and setting/removing underlay. It is assumed that those who are using this software have had some experience with other digitizing programs and have some knowledge of basic digitizing concepts. Also included is an example of how Carolyn used the new applique design in a garment. |
