Creating and Editing New Designs 71 3) To further reduce the number of colors, click and drag color "swatches" (squares) into another color row. When a color swatch is moved to a new row, the stitches originally assigned to that color (the one that you moved) will be given the new color. In the Area column, you will notice that the percentage is now the sum of the area of the two colors that have been combined. 4) After reducing the number of colors to a suitable number, click Next. You see the Automatic Segments window. Step 4: Setting the Automatic Segment widths The Autodigitizer wizard algorithm will automatically choose different stitch types to apply, depending on the shapes that it encounters in the image to be digitized. Effectively, what happens is that long, narrow parts of the image will be digitized as either Run, Steil, or Satin Columns (anything larger than a certain defined width will be digitized as a Complex Fill). Which of these three types will be used for the narrow parts of the image will depend on the actual width (in embroidery points) of the color segment to be digitized. By default, segments will be digitized as follows: However, you are able to override these values for each type of stitch, using the controls on the Automatic Segments page. Width (in the image) Segment type applied 0.1–0.5 points Run Stitch 0.6–1.5 points Steil Stitch 1.5–7.0 points Satin Column 7.0 points or wider Complex fill
