  • Tie In/Tie Off, Element

    The help is not helpful in DS9. It says that checking "Always" will insert a tie in and/or tie out for each element. "Element" is never defined. I generally know what an element is... my question is really about text. Is each letter an element or is the whole text in a text box an element? This is a concern when manually clipping connector stitches between letters. It is also a problem on larger letters when I want to clip the connector between the base part of an "i" or "j" and the dot. Then there is the issue of Auto Tie. Is it possible to get a double tie if Only When Necessary is checked and Auto Tie is checked, or is DS9 smart enough to resolve this.

    Good Question! I look forward to the answer!

    FYI, Melco has been pretty good about responding to my emails re: DS questions -- you might try them also.

      I have been using Ver. 10 for some time now, which is a lot more "tricked-out" when it comes to adjusments in the lock-trim area of DS. That being said auto-trims are determined by how far (defined in points by the software) the next elements start point is. As far as what an element is- it is a seperate piece in the tree on the right-hand side of the screen in DS. You can make each letter of a word or phrase a seperate element by clicking apply and ok after each letter. For the next letter open the text dialogue box again, type the letter, click apply and then ok- you get the idea. As far as the auto-trims, I think they happen automatically at 64 points is ver 9, but are completely adjustable in ver 10.

        I'm confused -- Are you talking about DS? I thought Ver. 9 was the latest? Do you have Version 10 of DS?
        I know the latest of AOS is Ver. 10.
