View color blocks

Use Design Colors > Current Color to view the current design color.

The Design Colors toolbar offers an easy way to selectively view color blocks and embroidery objects. This is useful when re-coloring.

To view color blocks in isolation...

Open the design you want to recolor.
Click and hold a color in the Design Colors toolbar to isolate it in the design window.

Another technique for isolating colors is via the Arrange > View by Color command. The dialog allows you to tick the colors you want to view in isolation.

Tip: Hidden colors are marked in the Sequence docker. Right-click to access the ‘unhide’ commands from the droplist. The same commands are available from the Arrange menu.
