TIP

The Show Column C width guide setting in the Options dialog activates a special cursor. This is useful when digitizing a border based on a background image.

  1. To close the shape, enter the last point on top of the first.

  2. Press Enter.

  3. Specify column width:

  • To use the default width – as set in the Object Properties > Special > Column C docker – press Enter.
  • To specify a width, mark two additional points. By default, stitches are positioned around the center of the digitized line.
