Move Buttons/Buttonholes Tool

What it Does

Moves a set of buttons or buttonholes to a different layer. A layer is like a sheet of tracing paper that holds part of your drawing, and you can show, hide, move or turn a whole layer. A set stays together as one group, so you choose the whole set and not single buttons.

Use this when your buttons or buttonholes are on the wrong layer, for example when you want them with the facing and not the front. If your draft has no buttons or buttonholes, the tool says so. Select Cancel to leave.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by selecting the Move Buttons/Buttonholes icon
2. Select a button or buttonhole set from the list. Move the pointer over a name to see that set highlighted in the workspace
3. Select Buttons to New Layer or Buttons to Existing Layer, then select Continue

If you chose Buttons to Existing Layer

1. Select the layer that will receive the set
2. Select Save to keep the change, or Save & Switch to keep it and make that layer the active layer

If you chose Buttons to New Layer

1. Enter the Name of the new layer, then select Continue
2. Select the parent layer. The new layer is created inside the layer you select
3. Select Save to keep the change, or Save & Switch to keep it and make the new layer the active layer

info

The set moves as soon as you choose the layer. Select Cancel before you save to put it back.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the move is remembered along with the layer the set went to.
