Options for creating a new structure module

Example: Structure module with knitting rows only

    1
    Open the Nuovo elemento di lavoro dialog box with Nuovo elemento di lavoro.
    - or -
    In the Elementi di lavoro tool window / select Creazione di un nuovo modulo.
    2
    Make the following settings:
  • Tecnica di lavoro a maglia
    • Tutti gli aghi
  • Tipo di elemento di lavoro:
    • Modulo struttura
  • Elementi di riempimento
    • No yarn color / magazine color or yarn carrier color
    • No Needle Action
  • Dimensione [maglie]
    • Larghezza
    • Altezza
    3
    Close the dialog box with OK.
  1. The Knitting Element Editor is opened.
    2. 4
    Select the Azioni dell'ago / colori tab.
    5
    In the drawing canvas, in the , in the displayed technical rows draw the desired structure with needle actions.
  2. The design rows are generated automatically.
  • Mostra ranghi design :
    Design rows are generated automatically based on the information of the technical rows.
    : The icons can be changed.
  • Mostra ranghi tecnici :
    Manually drawn structure with needle actions

: One design row and one technical row are automatically grouped to one pattern row.

 

    6
    Select a color for drawing the knitting element if desired:
  • Without color: Knitting element is color-independent when drawing
  • With color: Knitting element is color-dependent when drawing

Without pattern colors

With pattern colors

The needle action has no color, i.e. the structure module can be drawn in the design pattern into every color area.

The needle action has an assigned color, i.e. the structure module will be drawn in the design pattern with this color.

 

    1
    Enter the desired control column data in the corresponding control column of the corresponding technical rows.
  • Stitch Length
  • Fabric Take-down
  •   Carriage Speed
  • etc.

Entry

Meaning

Color entry

Assignment of a parameter value from the corresponding table

No color entry

Standard entry from the design pattern is kept

 

    2
    Design Rows:
    Enable the Colonne di comando button to apply the control column data from the technical rows to the design rows.

Behavior of control column data

No control column data

Control column data in technical rows only

Control column data in technical rows and design rows

With drawing in the design pattern and with the technical processing, no entry is made in the control columns.

These data from the technical rows will be inserted by the technical processing if in advance the standard entry is manually removed from the desired control columns of the design pattern.

When drawing in the design pattern it can be decided whether the control column data are to be entered in the design rows with the help of the cursor attributes.

: The control column data of the technical rows are not taken into account.

    1
    Depending on the structure of the knitting element, it may be necessary to group the technical rows:

Group the pattern rows in the knitting element:

When multiple technical rows build a pattern row, then these have to be grouped. The grouping affects the behavior during drawing and the subsequent technical processing.

  1. A knitting element with multiple technical rows is created.
  2. Each technical row corresponds to one design row.
    1
    Select all the technical rows to be grouped.
    2
    Group the selected technical rows with Ctrl + G.

Behavior of ungrouped / grouped technical rows when drawing in the design pattern

Ungrouped technical rows:

All pattern rows are drawn-in one-to-one in the design pattern. This means that the corresponding number of pattern rows will be overwritten in the design pattern.

Grouped technical rows:

When drawing, only the first technical row is drawn in the design pattern. This means that the remaining technical rows of the group will only be added to the pattern by the technical processing.

: The grouping also has an effect when working with shapes, i.e. one technical row corresponds to one shape row.

Ungroup rows:

  1. In the knitting element the technical rows are grouped.
    1
    Select one or several technical rows.
    2
    Cancel the selection of the technical rows by Ctrl + Shift + G.

: If necessary, repeat the process multiple times.

 

    3
    If desired, create further variants of this structure.
  • Variants:
    • All needles knit
    • All needles knit mirrored
    • 1x1 Technique
    • 1x1 Technique, Mirrored

  2. The created variant is displayed in the drawing canvas.
    3. 4
    If desired, make changes in the technical rows and in the control column data.

 

    5
    Check the knitting element with Manuale regarding correct entries in the knitting element.
    : The knitting procedure cannot be checked!
    6
    If necessary, in case of a knitting element already used in the design pattern, apply the changes to the basic pattern with the Applica button.
    7
    Close the Nuovo elemento di lavoro tool window with .

According to the connecting points, the structure module is integrated into a technical row and knitted.

Properties:

  • A knitting-in and knitting-out row in the knitting element is defined by a connection point.
  • A connecting point integrates the design row of the knitting element in to the design pattern.
  • A knitting element may have one or more connecting points.
  • Quantity of technical rows
    • Even-numbered: Knitting-in and knitting-out on the same side
    • Odd-numbered: Knitting-in and knitting-out on the opposite side
  • Technical Rows
    • Without entry of carriage direction = stroke independent
      : The structure module with connecting point can be used (mirrored) for both stroke directions.
    • With entry of carriage direction = stroke dependent
      : The structure module with connecting point is stroke dependent and therefore cannot be used (mirrored) for the other carriage direction.
