Did you know that in PE-DESIGN® NEXT, you have the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts? For this example, lets create a keyboard shortcut for turning on and off the Grid function. CynthiasEmbroidery.com
1. Click on the Down arrow next to the Quick Access toolbar and then choose More Commands.
2. At the bottom of the Commands window, click on the Customize Keyboard shortcuts button.
3. In the Categories window, select View.
4. In the Commands window, select Show Grid.
5. Click inside the Press new shortcut key box, and then Press the Alt key and the G key on the keyboard. If the shortcut has not been assigned to anything else, it will say Unassigned. If it is an existing shortcut, you will need to select a different keystroke combination. In PE-DESIGN lettering, you do not have to add a keystroke with a letter. The letter may be assigned by itself. However, to make both programs the same, use the same shortcut combination
6. Press the Assign button.
7. You may now click Close and OK in where appropriate.

Would a larger computer moniter up to 27" keep icons from overlapping? Betsy Boop
Hi Besty,
I don’t know if a larger screen will help you or not. I use a 14 inch laptop monitor and do not have any issues. Have you accidentally undocked your items from their locations? I always leave mine docked that way they don’t sit on top of any items and I can get to them easily. If you have updated to the most current version of the software (9.22), you can go to the File pull down menu and choose Options. Click on the Application Color tab on the left side and then choose Reset Pane Position. Once you do that, click OK. Close the software and reopen it, the items will be re-docked in their original location. Alternately, there is a lesson my workbook that shows you exactly how to re-dock the items as well as a video tutorial on the CD.
If you like things large, then you may like a larger monitor. I have found that when increasing the size of my monitor, my display just stretches to fill that screen. You will have to play with the resolution of the display to see if that helps. You can try this on your computer monitor that you have now. Click on the Control Panel from the start menu, choose Appearance and Personalization and then choose Adjust the Screen Resolution. It may be that you have the resolution set too high or you have adjusted the Text and icons to make them larger to make them easier to see and therefore have less monitor space to work with.
