Measuring distances on screen
Measure the distance between two points on
screen using the Measuring Tape command.
Measurements are shown in millimeters or inches,
depending on the option selected in the Windows
Control Panel. See your Windows documentation
for more information.
Try this! For more accurate results, zoom in
before you measure. The measurement is always
the actual size, and is not affected by the zoom
factor.
To measure a distance on-screen
1 Select View > Measuring Tape.
2 Click the start point.
3 Move the pointer to the end point and hold the mouse
still.
The tooltip displays the length of the measured line
together with the stitch angle.
4 Press Esc to finish.
Note You can also check the width and height of your
design in the status bar.
Saving designs
JANOME Embroidery Software lets you save
designs in native JAN as well as other ‘outline’ and
‘stitch’ file formats. See Embroidery design
formats for details.
Saving current design
Saving a design records its file name, location and
format, and updates it with any changes you
make. When you save an existing design under a
new name, to a different location or format, you
create a copy of the original design. See Saving
designs for machine for details.
Try this! Save your design early and often. Do not
wait until you finish working. You can also set
JANOME Embroidery Software to save
automatically while you work. See Setting
automatic save options for details.
To save a design
1 Click the Save icon.
If this is the first time you have saved the design, the
Save As dialog opens.
Try this! To save changes to an existing file but
preserve the original, use Save As.
2 Select the folder where you want to save the design
from the Save In list.
3 Enter a name for the design in the File name field.
4 Select a file format from the Save as type list. See
Supported embroidery file formats for details.
5 Click Save.
Once you have saved a design, every time you click
Save on the toolbar the file will be updated.
Use View > Measuring Tape to measure distances
on-screen.
Use Standard > Save to save the current design.
