Paste & duplicate options

Options00024.pngUse Standard > Options to access application options for design view, grid & guides, and other settings.

You can control where an object is positioned when pasted. If you are pasting within the same design, the default is the same position from which the object was copied or cut. Other options are available.

Paste settings include:

OptionFunction
Object property positionObjects are pasted according to the coordinates in the Object Properties docker.
Shift pasted objectsObjects are pasted slightly offset from their original position. Adjust offset distance as preferred.
Center at current stitchObjects are centered at the current needle position marker.
Start at current stitchObjects are positioned after the current needle position marker.

Duplicate position settings apply only to normal Ctrl+Shift+D operations. Cloning by right-click and drag will override these settings temporarily. Ctrl+D operations will assume the ‘quick clone’ value.

Note

Paste and duplicate options control the physical position of the object in the design, not its position in the stitching sequence.
