1. Create pattern element from selection.
2. Click the shape symbol in the cursor attributes and switch it off thereby.
3. Insert a pattern element into the pattern.

You can assign the following module types to a shape marking of the lined shape.

• Structure Modules
• Pattern Elements
• Shape Marking Modules
  fully fashion / Marcatura di forma

Shape markings appear as follows in the raster-shape created from the lined shape:

Variant 1:

• The shape marking consists of a shape marking module.
• The shape marking does not appear in the Marcature della forma tool window.
• Therefore, the module of the shape marking cannot be replaced.

Variant 2:

• The shape marking consists of a structure module or of a pattern element.
• The shape marking appears in the Marcature della forma tool window.
• Therefore, the module of the shape marking can be changed.
