Lock Piece
This is used in the Pattern Design screen to lock one or more selected pieces. Locked pieces cannot be modified, except with the Join Points function.
- 1.) In the Pattern Design screen, select the piece or pieces to be locked. (Multiple pieces can be selected using the Selection icon.)
- 2.) From the Pieces menu, click Lock/Unlock Piece
. If the piece is unlocked, it will be locked; if it is already locked, the lock will be released.
A locked piece can be overlaid with an unlocked piece, and the Move Point operation can be used to adjust the lines. During this process, the locked piece remains stationary.
