The first section is used to bring existing images or artwork into the program. You can load a raster image (Bitmap, Jpeg) or a Vector image (Metafile, Adobe Illustrator) or even use a TrueType font as artwork for your creation.
The next section contains view and mode options. You can hide the background images or the stitches while you are creating your designs. You can also re-sequence the objects in a mode that lets you click on them one after the other on the Main View.
The drawing tools are next. These let you create shapes, open and close outlines, add inclination and carving lines, etc.
The Stitches section is used to apply stitch types to selected objects.
The Paths section is used by illustrators to convert images into useable embroidery shapes.
When using tools such as the Magic Wand, another section becomes visible as needed to allow for adjustments to the current process.
