Shift Inward - LED Wizard 8

8.13.15.1 Shift Inward (Ctrl+<)

This command will shift the modules inward to the center of the stroke, or away from the return. What's unique about this feature, as opposed to just making a selection of modules and moving it, is that each module is moved independently, perpendicular to the stroke.

Here there is a subtle stroke width change in this letter, and we want to move the five selected modules in from the return slightly.

You can use this in combination with Rotate (Ctrl+X or Ctrl+C) when you want to even out the spacing where a stroke widens. First use Shift Inward and then Rotate to correctly populate a stroke that's somewhere between a single and double row stroke.
