Element Tool Window
When only one element is selected, you will see its attributes in the Element Tool Window.
Tool Description
At the top of the window, the element type and the tool type that the machine will use to process an element will be listed.
You can change what tool is used by pressing the drop-down arrow.
You can also use one of the tools shortcut hotkeys:
| Tool | Shortcut Key |
|---|---|
| Mark | Shift + M |
| Shift + B | |
| Cut | Shift + C |
| Cut 2 | Shift + A |
| Drill | Shift + D |
| Crease | Shift + V |
| Reference | Shift + R |
Geometry
In the Geometry section, you can edit the element’s coordinates. If the element has multiple segments, move the slider to see each segment’s information. Each tic mark represents a point on the element.
Turning the Indices toggle on helps to identify which point is being displayed.
Click on a coordinate value and you can change it directly. Clicking on a point on an element will change the display to that point. Press the Tab key to see the results of changes. It is often helpful to attach the origin (0.0, 0.0) to a point on an element to see coordinates. You can do that using the Origin tool.
Notches
If the selected element has Notches, you’ll see and be able to edit them in the Notches section. You can also add or remove notches here.
Anchor Points
If the selected element has Anchor Points, you can edit, add, or remove them here.
Seams
If the selected element has a Seam Allowance, you can edit, add, or remove it here.
