Underlay stitches generated for solid objects like plain fills, autocolumns, columns, border outlines, etc. are controlled with set of parameters. Some of these parameters are local, i.e. individual for each vector object. Some are global (overall). Global parameters can be overriden with use of controls described in the following text.
Both global and local parameters are accessible via Parameters window . Controls which override global underlay settings are located in Underlay - Advanced Tab. They are arranged into several groups according to type of the underlay.
Inherit from Overall Settings . This switch turns on and off the overriding of global settings with individual settings
Min. Length is approximate length of shortest stitches in the center underlay. Short stitches occur in sharp curved sections of the underlay path.
Max. Length is approximate length of longest stitches in the center underlay. Long stitches occur in straight sections of the underlay path.
Center walk underlay is not available for Fill - Plain mode.
Inherit from Overall Settings . This switch turns on and off the overriding of global settings with individual settings
Min. Length is approximate length of shortest stitches in the edge underlay. Short stitches occur in sharp curved sections of the underlay path.
Max. Length is approximate length of longest stitches in the edge underlay. Long stitches occur in straight sections of the underlay path.
Offset Mode defines meaning of the next parameter - the Offset. Offset value is either percentual (relative to automatic optimized value), or absolute.
Offset defines inner gap between object's contour and the edge walk underlay
Edge walk underlay is not available for Column - Multi Layer mode.
Inherit from Overall Settings . This switch turns on and off the overriding of global settings with individual settings
Min. Length is approximate length of shortest stitches in the zig-zag underlay. Short stitches occur in sharp curved sections of the underlay path.
Max. Length is approximate length of longest stitches in the zig-zag underlay. Long stitches occur in straight sections of the underlay path.
Offset Mode defines meaning of the next parameter - the Offset. Offset value is either percentual (relative to automatic optimized value), or absolute.
Offset defines inner gap between object's contour and the zig-zag underlay
