Working with Name Drops
Name Drops allow you to create a model to make a number of
similar designs. In a template, each lettering or design segment
is treated as a unit that can be replaced. For example, a
lettering segment can be changed so that it uses a different font
or text, but the segment appears in the same place as the
model.
(An example of a application for the Name Drops tool might be
to create T-shirts for each player on a sports team; instead of
creating a separate design for each T-shirt, use Name drops to
create each shirt using the same logo design, but with a
different name.)
Each design that will be generated by
the tool will have its own
row in the dialog, displaying the text, the font, the font height,
and the alignment of the lettering. Add a new row for each
separate embroidery design you need.
To use the Name Drops Wizard:
1
Create the design you want to use as a basis for the
Template; using one of the text tools, include some
“placeholder” text in the design.
2
Save the design.
3
On Home tab, click on the Name Drops
icon.
You see the Name Drops dialog.
The Name Drops will only work with files that contain only a
single text segment.
However, if you want to use a file that already
has
a text
segment in it, you can get around this constraint by converting
the original text to stitches. Select the text, right-click, and
choose “Preserve as stitches” from the context menu. You can
then add a new text segment to the design, and that will be the
one that varies in the Name Drops Wizard.
