CA Definition of Areas

Repeating from the left pattern column

Repeat the selected column area within the color relative to the first pattern column.

Repetition to the right

Repeat the selected column area starting from the left color field edge.

Repeating from the right pattern column

Repeat the selected column area within the color relative to the last pattern column.

Repetition to the left

Repeat the selected column area starting from the right color field edge.

Excess Width, Overwriting, Repeating starting at the left pattern border

Enter a overwriting additional column on the left relative to the first pattern column of a color area.

Excess Width, Overwriting

Enter an overwriting additional column on the left and / or right of a color area.

Excess Width

Do not enter an overwriting additional column on the left and / or right of a color area.

Excess Width, Overwriting, Repeating starting at the right pattern border

Enter a overwriting additional column on the right relative to the last pattern column of a color area.

Effect:
The color area will be widened up to shape edge at max.

Example: Intarsia Binding

Excess Width at Shape Edge, Overwriting, Repeating starting at the left pattern border

Enter a overwriting additional column on the left relative to the first pattern column of a color area at the shape edge.

Excess Width at Shape Edge, Overwriting

Enter an overwriting additional column on the left and / or right of a color area at the shape edge.

Excess width at Shape Edge

Do not enter an overwriting additional column on the left and / or right of a color area at the shape edge.

Excess Width at Shape Edge, Overwriting, Repeating starting at the right pattern border

Enter a overwriting additional column on the right relative to the last pattern column of a color area at the shape edge.

Effect:
The color area will be widened by the indicated column number beyond the shape edge.
Here, Outside shape is set to Within shape.

: Shape edges will not be moved, attributes will be widened.

Left Fabric Selvedge

Fading-out at the left fabric selvedge by the drawn-in width .

Right Fabric Selvedge

Fading-out at the right fabric selvedge by the drawn-in width.

Repeating of rows

For defining cycles in the column

: If there are to be defined several cycles in the CA, the repeating of rows can be marked visually also with defining colors. For neighboring cycles a defining color is mandatory as it defines the start and the end of the cycle.

Outside shape in the searching row

For defining specifications in the needle bed in the area at the left of the #L counter and in the area at the right of the #R counter, also for specifying outside shape.

Reference Numbers

For Reference Rows

Keep reference row number

The previous reference row number is retained, i. e. that the reference row number will not be incremented.

Increase reference row number by 1

Edited reference row number will be increased by 1 for further editing.

: In the first row of the CA, the '+' symbol will not be executed, i.e. it corresponds to an entry of

Increase reference row number by 2

Edited reference row number will be increased by 2 for further editing, i.e. one pattern row is skipped.

to

Reference Row Number from 1 to 20

Selection of the reference row numbers for numbering the reference rows in the design pattern

Selection of further reference row numbers greater than 20

For Additional Rows

Retain the number of additional row

The previous reference row number is retained, i. e. that the reference row number will not be incremented.

Increase the number of additional row by 1

Edited reference row number will be increased by 1 for further editing.

Increase the number of additional row by 2

Edited reference row number will be increased by 2 for further editing, i.e. one pattern row is skipped.

to

Number of additional row from 1 to 20

Selection of the additional row number for numbering the additional rows in the Color Arrangement
