Dockers

Hatch Embroidery includes a number of ‘dockers’ for key functions. These include operations to do with thread selection, object sequencing, cutwork, ‘carving stamps’, as well as viewing and modifying object properties.

Dockers are normally docked to the right of the design window. They may also be ‘floated’ by dragging the caption bar to the design window or double-clicking.

Purpose

Sequence

The Sequence docker offers an easy way to selectively view and sequence color blocks and objects.

Design Overview

Use this docker to toggle the Design Overview window on/off. Use this to view a thumbnail of the design. Use it to pan and zoom the design when working at high zoom factors. Set view settings independently to the design window.

Object Properties

This is an important docker if you are creating or editing embroidery objects. Use this together with the Context toolbar to access and modify the many properties of selected embroidery objects.

Design Information

Threads

The Threads docker allows you to select thread charts and assign threads to the current design. The Threads docker works in conjunction with the Design Colors toolbar.
