General view:
The embroidery is displayed in the centre of the screen when
the file is opened; please note the ruler gives the dimensions in centimetres
from the origin (start-point) of the design; the one below is approx 8cm x 6cm.

Measuring distance:
If you set your screen accurately (see tools/options/display
- set visible screen area in mm) you can then measure distances on your screen
with a ruler.
Alternatively you can do this on screen by selecting a point
and holding down the left click on your mouse and dragging mouse to the other
point; the measurements appear in the bottom LH corner of your screen.
