Usage of Preset Stepping

Stepping Kind Preset Stepping

With a preset stepping, it is not always possible to reach any desired target point!

Example:

If only even-numbered steps have been specified, no target point can be reached at an odd-numbered position.

Therefore, the line table contains the following information for a preset stepping:

1	Actual height and width of the line The resulting height and width are determined by the preset stepping and the respectively calculated factor. If the target point is not reached by the calculation, there are several results. The actual endpoint will be the one closest to the desired target point.
2	Desired height and width of the line in total Enter it directly into the table. - or - Move the line in the lined shape.
3	Deviation of the calculated target point in height and width The deviation of the actually reached target point from the desired target point is displayed in red.
4	Bind-off Step The width of the bind-off step is specified via the line properties. The total bind-off width is calculated and determined by the factor.
5	Preset Stepping The preset stepping is specified by the user.
6	Factor of the stepping The factor for each step is calculated so that the desired overall height and width of the line is achieved as precisely as possible.

If the desired target point of a line is not reached in the lined shape, both points are displayed separately.

1	Desired Target Point
2	Actually Achieved Target Point

In addition to the stepping line, a dashed line appears.

You can set preference points on the line and remove them via the context menu.
Add Preference Point
Delete Preference Point
The stepping line adapts to this curve as closely as possible, according to the preset stepping.
You can move the preference points as desired.
This means, you can form the line as desired according to the preset stepping.
