When you tell an object that it is to
be a certain stitch type, the stitches will automatically generate. Also when
you adjust or edit the object, the stitches will generate for you. But what if
you want to do a complex series of edits on the object? It might be desirable to
turn the automatic generation off for a while. You can do this with the ‘Delayed
Generation’ button. As long as the button is pressed, and you are in ‘Create’
mode, your stitches will not generate.
