Advanced settings of a sewing pattern - privacy, templates, hiding code

In this article we explain how you can organise your library, create templates, make patterns visible to yourself only, or share pattern with others if you desire to do so - either showing the code, or just making your pattern available as a template while leaving the code private.

Selecting size group and size measurements

Drafting patterns for women, men, girls, boys and babies. Changing sizes and size groups within the software. The size constants sz1-sz122.

Point(x,y). Referring to size measurements.

Placing points - the command point and several examples of pattern drafts.

Apply(point,distance,angle). Length of virtual line [point1:point2].l

Let's change some of the point commands from the last tutorial to apply commands. We shall also use virtual lines between two points for some of the calculations.

Meet(point,angle,point,angle). Using variables.

Using command "meet" for placing points.

Organising your code. Using variables and comments.

Before we dive into the actual drafting, let's make some calculations and organize them so that we can easily adapt our pattern to different needs.

How to choose names for points and objects

Another idea on how you make your pattern draft more readable and easier to manage.

Redefining objects

In this lesson we shall see what happens if we define an object or a variable again.

Angle property of a virtual line

Referring to an angle between two points.

Line (point,point)
