    Filling of the interior of the Aran diamond with Pattern element / Structure module Ponto arroz 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 -> Seleção -> Criar parte de amostra...
    : Pattern element will be saved as Partes de amostra and with the project.
  • Context menu -> Seleção -> Criar módulo de estrutura...

: 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 Malha à frente com transferência .

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 Parâmetros de cor.

Creating Sub-colors within the Different Tables of Pattern Colors

Possible in the following tables:

  • Cores de fio
  • Cores de depósito
  • Cores técnicas
  • Cores de guia-fios

: 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 / Cores de fio.
  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 Alterar valor da cor... context menu in order to change the color.
    - or -
    Delete the sub-color by Eliminar subcor.
  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 Amostra de desenho 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 Fio flutuante, bloquear, ourela do tecido module to the sub-color 1/1.

Yarn Carrier View

:

  • A row is created in the Parâmetros de cor Table for the main color of the yarn color #1 (yarn carrier 4R) in which the desired attributes A can be allocated.
  • A row is created in the Parâmetros de cor Table for the sub-color of the yarn color #1 (yarn carrier 5L) in which the desired attributes B can be allocated.
