Introduction
With BuzzSize
™
you can easily resize your designs and adjust stitch
density! The number of stitches is re-calculated and fill patterns retained
to give you the best results possible.
BuzzSize
™
is an add-on module that is shipped and incorporated into
BuzzEdit
®
V2 Lite which has been renamed to BuzzSize
™
to avoid
confusion with the full version of BuzzEdit
®
V2. However, because
BuzzSize
™
is distributed this way, the version of the product starts out at
version 2. There isn't a version 1 of the BuzzSize
™
add-on module.
BuzzSize
™
provides you with some of the capabilities of BuzzEdit
®
V2
such as the ability to change colors, rotate designs and run the sew
simulator. Features not provided with BuzzSize
™
are disabled in the
software. Some of the disabled features are digitizing, auto multi-
hooping and stitch editing. Since the program interfaces are the same,
you will not need to learn how to use a new program should you decide
to purchase BuzzEdit
®
V2 at a later date.
If BuzzEdit
®
V2 or BuzzXplore is also installed on your computer,
BuzzSize
™
will extend their capabilities to include resizing with
automatic stitch recalculation.
NOTE BuzzSize
™
saves only stitch data – not object data. When a design
containing both objects and stitches is saved in BuzzSize
™
, the object data is lost.
For example, if you draw a circle in Layout & Editing (part of Brother
®
's P.E. Design)
and save it, the PES file will contain both an object definition for the circle and the
circle's stitches. Now you resize the PES file with BuzzSize
™
and then read the file
back into Layout & Editing. You will see the stitches of the circle, but you will no
longer be able to modify object properties of the circle such as fill style or line width.
