COMMANDS IN THE LAYER STACK – Support

We'll find 2 different types of commands in the Layers menu:

- Canvas commands

- Global/ local commands

CANVAS COMMANDS:

They generate the canvas on which you will create your design. For this reason they should be the first step for any design. They will be placed on top of the command stack, which means they are the base for your design, and therefore, all following actions will affect them. There are three of them:

Canvas

This is the default base for any design. It's the first command in the stack when you open a new design.

Load .txt file pattern

This allows you to import patterns created with DesignaKnit9 (DAK9). For the Kniterate app to read them, these must be exported into .txt files. Using this command will create a new base layer. To avoid errors, the default layer "Canvas" must be deleted.

Stitch Image

Imports .png files and translates the colors into different stitch types. Using this command will create a new base layer. To avoid errors, the default layer "Canvas" must be deleted.

GLOBAL/ LOCAL COMMANDS

These commands work on the canvas or layer that you have created with either of the commands above. They will automatically be placed underneath the “base” image (and then at the bottom of the stack as we keep adding more of them). Each new command added to the stack will affect all commands above it, which means that going back to change any option from a previous command will “disable” all the commands used thereafter, changing their appearance to light gray. To have them back in action, they need to be reviewed by clicking on the pencil symbol and checking that the selections or options you had chosen still apply.

Here are these commands:
