Move a Selection in Time

For this example, we will be using the CSD file fiveapples.csd, which

is included with BuzzEdit

™

as a sample. The default location of this

file is C:\Program Files\Buzz Tools\BuzzEdit\Samples.

1 Choose the Lasso/Move tool and Make your Selection

In this example, we want the text to sew first. Use the lasso tool

in the Space display to select the text "5 Apples". This technique

is described on page 99 of this chapter. A selection indicator is

drawn around the selected stitches in the Time window.

The text is shown selected in time.

2 Drag to a New Location in Time

To grab the selection, position your mouse cursor on the Stitch

Color bar inside of the selection. When your mouse cursor is

correctly positioned, it will change to a pointing finger. Hold down

the primary mouse button and drag the selection horizontally

along the Stitch Color bar until it is just left of the Time display.

This will move the selected stitches to the very beginning of the

design where they will sew first.

The stitches are dragged in Time and dropped at the

very beginning of the design where they will sew first.

When you are re-ordering stitches in time, you can drag your

selection down into any of the other graphs to take advantage of

their particular features or "snap" characteristics.
