Each lined shape has its own Yableau des lignes docked to the document window.

    You can drag it to any desired edge of the document window.
  • You can expand the Yableau des lignes and unpin it from the edge.
  • The table always remains related to the same shape.
  • You can dock the Yableau des lignes again to the corresponding lined shape by the Ancrer function in the context menu of the title bar.
  • You can hide a docked Yableau des lignes via the pin in the title bar.
  • You can open and edit several line tables of different shapes at the time.

You can move the areas of the shape lines of the left or right shape half in the Yableau des lignes.

Therefore, drag the separator between the areas as desired to the top or bottom.

Raster-Shape Preview of a Lined Shape

You can get the rasterized view for each lined shape of the Coupes tool window via the context menu.

  • Rasterized view appears folded-out.
  • Especially helpful for the Trapèze and En dent de scie variants of Fair Isle.
  • The rasterized view cannot be edited.
  • Context menu on the shape

Modified behavior of starts with positioned shapes (≤ V2.6 vs. V2.7)

  • Behavior when positioning a shape without start on a pattern with start:
    • The start of the pattern gets allocated to the shape.
    • If the shape is moved on the pattern, the start will be moved accordingly.
    • With the positioned shape, the start can only be modified by the start module and not within the pattern.
    • If the shape is withdrawn from the pattern, the start returns to its original position within the pattern.
  • Behavior when loading or importing a pattern of a former version (≤ V2.6):
    • The pattern of the former version has a positioned shape.
    • The start of this pattern has been modified within the pattern having the positioned shape.
      Therefore, the start within the pattern is different from the start module.
    • When loading or importing this pattern in version V2.7, the pattern will be converted to a raster-shape.
      With it, the modified start will be kept in the pattern.
