 | Use Traditional Digitizing > Complex Turning to digitize filled shapes with turning stitch angles. Right-click for settings. |
You can change the stitch angle of Complex Fill objects using object properties. By definition, Complex Turning objects contain multiple stitch angles. However, they also have a property called the ‘nominal angle’.
To set the nominal angle...
- Double-click a free-shape object to access object properties.
- In the Angle or Nominal Angle field, enter a stitch angle.
Note
The ‘nominal angle’ in a Complex Turning object only takes effect if multiple stitch angles are irreconcilable – it then reverts to parallel stitching in the direction of the nominal angle. The nominal angle also affects certain underlay styles.
TIP
You can adjust stitch angles of free-form objects interactively using the Stitch Angles tool.
