- With CTRL + C create a temporary pattern element to draw.
- Open the context menu -> Sélection
-> select
Élément du dessin:
Pattern element is saved in the
Parties de dessin tab.

- 7
- Then, in
Knit Explorer under Modules de structure -> Par défaut -> Modes de tricotage base select the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée to draw.
: For working with PTS - different stitch length index in one technical row - the STOLL knitting elements Structure from the Knit Explorer already have different stitch lengths allocated. The stitch lengths are allocated in the control columns, as well as needle-exactly to the needle action.
- 8
- Activate
Reprendre la longueur de la maillein the cursor attributes.
- 9
- Draw the 1x1 Côte perlée knitting element in the design pattern.
- The needle-exact stitch length from the knitting element will be entered in the design pattern.

:
When positioning the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée be sure that it is positioned correctly to Début, 1x1.
This means that the structure 1x1 from the start without racking has to continue running in the structure of the 1x1 half cardigan.
Apply stitch lengths from knitting element to the control columns when drawing:
Condition:
The knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée has different stitch length entries in the control columns
and
as in the basic pattern.
- Select a knitting element.
-
: The Cursor Attributes window with the currently available attributes appears.
- Via the
Reprendre les colonnes de commande button make the desired setting to draw: - - Activated
Stitch lengths from the knitting element are entered in the control columns. - - Deactivated
Stitch lengths from the knitting element are not entered in the control columns. - Draw the knitting element in the design pattern.
-
: The stitch length is present in the control column and is therefore valid for the entire technical row. No Power Tension Setting (NPJ) is created.
Apply stitch lengths from knitting elements exactly to the needles when drawing into the design pattern:
Condition:
In the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée there are entered different stitch lengths in the needle actions.
- Select a knitting element.
-
: The Cursor Attributes window with the currently available attributes appears.
- Via the
Reprendre la longueur de la maille button make the desired setting to draw: - - Activated
Stitch lengths from the knitting element will be applied to the design pattern. - - Deactivated
Stitch lengths from the knitting element will not be applied to the design pattern. - Draw the knitting element in the design pattern.
-
: Now there are different stitch lengths available for PTS in a single technical row.
Draw stitch lengths from the table needle-exactly into the design pattern:
Condition:
- In the design pattern there are drawn different structures by areas.
- The standard stitch lengths are entered in the control columns
and
.
- In the status bar of the design pattern, switch from
Couleur de dessin to
Longueur de la maille. - Open the selection list in the Accueil ribbon under Paramètre at
Fenêtre Outils
and select the
Longueur de la maille (NP) tool window. -
: The Longueur de la maille (NP) tool window appears. - Select the Par défaut tab.
- Select the desired stitch lengths with the CTRL key in the
and
columns additively. -
: The stitch length for the front and rear needle bed are at the cursor. - Draw stitch lengths in the desired structure area needle-exactly into the design pattern.
-
: Now, different stitch lengths for PTS exist in one knitting row.

Positioning of a shape element in the basic shape
:
Every shape element gets a link (anchor) to a shape point in the basic shape during its creation.
Condition:
- A basic shape with a shape element Encolure is created.
- Position the cursor in the shape element.
- Reposition the shape element with the LMB pressed.
- or -
Move the shape with the arrow keys of the keyboard.
- or -
Open the coordinate display in the shape element double-clicking LMB and enter values. -
: The anchor point becomes visible with its X and Y coordinates in the Encolure shape element.
- Change the positioning if necessary.
