Editing Designs 59 The Properties Panel By default, the Properties Panel appears on the right of the workspace. This panel displays, and allows you to modify, all the properties associated with the letters in your designs. These properties include text properties, fill properties, underlay properties, and pull-compensation properties. Settings in the Properties Panel only apply to monogram text objects, not to other designs that are added to the monogram (such as decors and frames). Each of these types of properties has its own section in the Properties Panel, and each will be discussed in detail in its own section to follow. If you need to make room in the Properties Panel in order to see some of the fields better, you can collapse one or more areas by clicking the small minus sign next to its name; the box will then display a small plus sign. Clicking on the plus sign expands that area again. Adjusting Text Properties The Properties Panel appears as a panel on the right side of the Pacesetter BES Monogramming Suite workspace. When a monogram is selected, you will be able to change certain properties of the text segment. These include Height of the letters in the monogram, the width percentage and the slant. You can also determine how lock stitches and trims will be applied to the segment, for those machine formats that support the trim command. Changing the Height of Lettering It is easy to change the height of your text. Height refers to the tallest character in the desired lettering. So, when a text segment contains both uppercase and lowercase letters, it is the size of largest uppercase letters that is set by this property.
