You can modify the cut/part layout of a pattern by editing their semiproducts.
To edit a semiproduct:
1. In the Patterns Sheet, activate the pattern to modify.
2. Select a semiproduct.
3. Edit the properties in the Semiproduct Inspector.
When modifying semiproduct properties keep in mind the following:
· Always end property modifications by pressing ENTER or changing the focus to another property, even so the new value is selected in a drop-down list. · Be careful with the syntax when entering values with the keyboard:
- To define a cut, type “vertical” or “horizontal” in the Cut Dir property. - To change the part distributed, type a part index in the Part property. - Don’t forget the “x” between both repetition values in the Layout property whether parts are rectangles.
· You can define vertical/horizontal cuts at final semiproducts only. Therefore, before modifying a cut semiproduct you must clean it first. · To clean a semiproduct (make it an offcut), select Adjust | Clean or else delete both Cut Dir and Part properties. · To add vertical/horizontal cuts, select Adjust | Cut vertically , Adjust | Cut horizontally . · The Part, Rotated and Layout properties are disabled at cut semiproducts. · When modifying a property, some other properties could take default values according to the current layout of the semiproduct. For example:
- Whether an offcut is vertically (horizontally) cut, the Cut Dim property is initialized with a value equal to half the length (width) of the semiproduct. This value should be adjusted later.
- Whether a part (or its rotation) changes, several instances of the part will be automatically distributed to fit the entire semiproduct, that is, as many times in both directions as it can be contained. You can adjust later with the Layout property.
- A final semiproduct distributing a part already can be vertically (horizontally) cut whether an offcut exists in the length (width) direction, in which case the Dim Cut property will take a value equal to the sum of all parts lengths( widths). Hence, the new left (bottom) child semiproduct will exactly contain all the part lengths (widths) and the right (top) child will become the offcut. |
