Model review - this mode is used for checking if all pieces and their parameters (set, area, overall dimensions) used in a layout are available. After point Models of the main menu is selected, a drop down menu is displayed on the screen. In this drop down menu, models can be viewed by scale, name, or in a general list. After points By scale and By name are selected, a submenu is displayed on the screen. Such sub menus allow to sort the list of models accordingly:
- by scale
- by name
List of models
After selecting Models-General list, a new window Models is displayed on the screen; this window allows to view all models and their parameters, stored in the database:
A fast search box can be used to select a required model: upon consecutive typing of code model symbols in this field, blue selection market is automatically set on a model with the same code, closest in the list.
Piece viev
When viewing the list of pieces, every time a selected piece in the list is clicked with the left mouse button, piece view is displayed in the top right corner of the window; there all possible and most frequently used piece elements are shown:
Viewing piece
Parameters of a model selected for viewing can be seen in the top section of the window Model:
– scale;
– name of assortment;
– name of the constructor;
– piece readiness for layout (when working with a model in the workstation "Constructor", the constructor determines how ready a model is for layout).
To view parameters of a specific piece, select required positions (click them with a left mouse button) in the lists Models-Objects (model selection), Size-Height-Corpulence (it is possible to sort size, height, and corpulence in ascending or descending order), Material (selection of a required material) and Piece name.
The list of pieces displays information about the number of cut details, area, overall dimensions (distance between extreme points for length and width of a piece).
Parameters
It is possible to display a floating menu by clicking the right mouse button on the line of a particular layout
The window with parameters of a selected layout is displayed on the screen when the option Layout parameters is selected
In this window layout parameters can be viewed and changed.
Do not draw notches
Parameter «Do not draw notches» can be set by the constructor for pieces, for which notches should not be drawn when layouts are sent for drafting, but notches should remain in the constructor's program.
Do not pair pieces
Parameter «Do not pair» can be set by the constructor for pieces, which should not form a pair in a layout (symmetrical or non-symmetrical rotation of pair pieces in a layout).
Reverse display of couple of symmetrical pieces
Parameter «Reverse display of couple of symmetrical pieces» can be set by the constructor for pieces, which will be paired vertically, instead of horizontally. This is useful when layout is for a fabric with non-symmetrical piece, but the details must have symmetry.
Notches on blanks
Parameter «Make notches on blanks» can be set by the constructor for pieces with allowance for blanks, where notches must be drafted..
Blanks by length, width
Parameter «Blank by length» can be set by the constructor for pieces, where fabric shrinkage while manufacturing along piece grain line must be accounted for, «Blank by width» - across the piece grain line.
Title option
Parameter «Title option» - structured composition of the piece signature: what piece parameters in which order will be output when pieces are printed in the program “Constructor”: Model code, Item name, Piece name, number of details, material, size, date, constructor's last name, etc.
00 Option
Parameter «00 Option» shows an option of piece design variant as set by the constructor. It is often necessary to create several options of the same piece. For example, for trousers - two waistband options: with grain line along the waistband (for fabrics with checked or striped pattern) and across it (for solid fabrics). The constructor sets piece design option 1 for one waistband, piece design option 2 for the other. For all other pieces (common for both options) piece design option 0 is set as default in the constructor's program. This means, they will be used in all options.
Reference piece
Parameter «Reference piece» shows a reference of the current piece to another model (in other words, the current piece in the workstation of the program Constructor is copied from another model). This is mainly used for uniform pieces, when piece of the basic model is used in other models.
Parameters-information about a piece
After a piece is highlighted in the list with blue, click the right mouse button to display drop-down menu
Detailed information about a piece - displays piece parameters described above, as they were set by the constructor, as well as set the growing value for a piece, with an option to select fabric pattern type.
When fabric pattern type is selected, it is possible to set the value for growing pieces on account of pattern repeat distance. Growth value is set for the selected piece of all size-heights. Set pattern repeat distance Having set pattern repeat distance press . The button
clears previously set growth value.
Window Piece parameters is also displayed with the help of the button , located at the bottom of the window Models.
Binding
The function allows to set binding to the fabric pattern for a selected piece in all sizes and heights. After necessary information is selected, the window Set points of binding is displayed. This window has two binding modes: by piece and by fabric pattern.
The same function is listed in the drop-down menu Set points of binding at clicking the right mouse button on a piece in the window Piece name.
Binding to pieces, to fabric pattern
Mode To pieces allows to set points by which binding of pieces with a fabric print will be formed in a layout for all sizes. To set points, select the mode To pieces and specify required points with a left mouse click, these points become highlighted in blue.
Confirm the selection by pressing ready, leave without changes by pressing Cancel. After this, when you create fabric pattern binding between pieces in a layout, you will see on a piece only previously selected points when you choose the function Binding by selected points.
Mode of binding To fabric pattern allows to set binding of pieces with the fabric pattern, by which layout will be performed in future. To set such binding, select the mode To fabric pattern. Then select a point for binding to the fabric pattern by clicking the left mouse button, the following window will be displayed:
In the window for setting parameters of binding point, binding can be set by length, width, and by length and width simultaneously. It is also possible to set binding of a point to the beginning or middle of the fabric pattern. Binding is set by pressing the button Ready, the button Delete removes an already created binding, Cancel - exits the window without binding to the fabric pattern.
A point with a binding set to a fabric pattern is highlighted with blue color by different symbols, depending on the fabric pattern selection.
Delete all
Select the function Delete all to remove all binding points set on a piece, by which binding of pieces to a fabric pattern will be set in a layout in future.
Basic
Basic type of piece output is the parameter, which permits using the basic, most frequently used program functions when creating a layout. Basic type of piece output
