    Drawing of an Aran diamond with the drawing tools.
    3
    Filling of the interior of the Aran diamond with Pattern element / Structure module Point de riz with the following drawing tools and settings:

: The result when filling the Aran diamond depends on whether a pattern element or a structure module is used.
The use of a pattern element is recommended.

    4
    Select the created Aran diamond.
    5
    Press the keys CTRL + C.
  1. A temporary pattern element is assigned to the cursor.
    2. 6
    Draw basic pattern with the temporary pattern element.
  • Create the selection as a temporary pattern element with CTRL + C.
    : Pattern element is not saved and can be deleted from the cursor with the ESC button.
  • Context menu -> Sélection -> Élaborer la partie de dessin...
    : Pattern element will be saved as Parties de dessin and with the project.
  • Context menu -> Sélection -> Créer le module de structure...
    : Structure module will be saved as Modules and with the project.

: Attention:
The behavior of the pattern element and module is different when working with shapes.
Recommendation:
Create the basic pattern only with pattern elements when working with shapes.

    7
    Import and position the existing shape Front with V-neck.

: If the basic pattern is too small for the positioning of the shape, then the size of the basic pattern will be automatically adjusted to the size of the shape.

: This adjustment always takes place with Maille avant avec report .

    8
    Open the shape with the Yableau des lignes button.
    9
    Make the desired changes in the basic shape and neckline:

: These changes are directly visible in the document window Dessin de conception with positioned shape.

Description

Remarque sur l'utilisation de l'entrée Vous pouvez introduire ici un nouveau texte.
Comment about the color area

Standard behavior by the yarn carrier allocation

On the left side (shoulder) an additional yarn carrier is required for the yarn color #1 in shapes with neckline (shape element outside shape). It will be knitted-in from left by default at the start of the shoulder.

: In this knitting situation it might happen that the yarn does not lay-in correctly at the fabric selvedge.

: A row is created in the Color Parameter table for the Yarn color #1 in which the desired attributes A can be allocated.
These attributes are valid for both yarn carriers 4R and 5L.

:
If there is the necessity to allocate other attributes to the yarn carrier of the left shoulder, there has to be another yarn color or a sub-color of the main color available in the table Paramètres de couleurs.

Creating Sub-colors within the Different Tables of Pattern Colors

Possible in the following tables:

  • Couleurs de fil
  • Couleur du magasin
  • Couleurs techniques
  • Couleurs des guide-fils

: You can create sub-colors in each of these tables in the same way.

Creating Sub-colors:

: Be sure to create the sub-color for a main color used in the pattern only, as no additional yarn carrier should be added to the pattern.
With the help of the sub-color, you can allocate others attributes to a yarn carrier.

  1. Position the cursor to the main color in use (e.g. yarn color #1) in the tool window Pattern Colors / Couleurs de fil.
  2. The icon appears beside the symbol.
  3. Click the icon.
  4. The input panel for the sub-color appears.
  5. Click on the icon.
  6. A new empty sub-color will be created and selected.
  7. If required:
    Call up the Modifier la valeur de la couleur... context menu in order to change the color.
    - or -
    Delete the sub-color by Supprimer une couleur secondaire.
  8. If required, create additional sub-colors for the same main color.
    - or –
    Switch to another main color in order to add sub-colors.
  9. Select sub-color und draw it into the area of Dessin de conception for which different specifications are necessary.
  10. The sub-color will be marked by the icon and appears in the color parameter table.
  11. Allocate the Flottage, verrouillage, lisière module to the sub-color 1/1.

  • A row is created in the Paramètres de couleurs Table for the sub-color of the yarn color #1 (yarn carrier 5L) in which the desired attributes B can be allocated.
