Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of the BuzzEdit

™

workspace displays

the following information:

The first part of the status bar describes the actions of menu

items as you use the arrow keys or mouse to navigate through

menus, and describes the actions of toolbar buttons under the

mouse cursor.

The second part of the status bar indicates the color of the

current selection. If the selection comprises more than one

color, the number of thread colors in the selection is displayed.

If the cursor is position before the first stitch, the number of

thread colors in the design is displayed. You can click on this

portion of the status bar to bring up the Choose Color dialog

box.

The third part of the status bar indicates the starting and ending

stitch numbers of the selection. If the cursor is positioned

before the first stitch, the number of stitches in the design are

displayed. You can click on this portion of the status bar to

bring up the Select Stitches dialog box.

The fourth part of the status bar indicates the dimensions of the

current selection or, if the cursor is positioned before the first

stitch, the dimensions of the entire design.

When using one of the tools in the Stitches-in-Space toolbar

to move or otherwise transform the current selection, the fourth

part of the status bar contains pertinent information. For

example, the x and y offsets during movement, the resize

percentage during resizing, and the degrees of rotation during

rotation are displayed here.
