Step by Step to 'Pattern-4'

  1. A pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings is created.
    1
    To draw select any desired drawing tool under the 绘图 group.
    2
    In the 花型颜色 tool window, select the desired pattern colors from the 纱线颜色 color palette to draw the motif:
    3
    Draw the desired motif in the 设计花型.
    4
    Open the 添纱颜色 dialog box with in the 花型颜色 tool window.
    5
    In the tool window, enter the yarn colors used in row P1 under columns A and B.
    6
    Under P2, also enter the yarn colors used reversed.
    7
    If necessary, create an additional plating color for the start under P3 to assign specific plating offset values to it.
    8
    Open the selection list with the next to the yarn color.
    9
    Open the Plating Offset (YPI) table:
  1. The 添纱偏移 (YPI) tab of the Pattern Parameters dialog box appears.

Column

Meaning

YPI

Table of the YPI indices

: Index YPI 1 up to YPI 9 possible.

Insert Position <<

Horizontal offset of the driving unit of a yarn carrier for the carriage direction to the left

  • Positive values: The yarn carrier works following.

Negative values: The yarn carrier is leading

Height <<

Vertical offset of the yarn carrier for the carriage direction to the left

: The home position of the yarn carrier = knitting position = value 0.

  • Positive values: The yarn carrier is moved upwards.

Negative values: The yarn carrier is moved downwards.

Insert Position >>

Horizontal offset of the driving unit of a yarn carrier for the carriage direction to the right

  • Positive values: The yarn carrier works following.

Negative values: The yarn carrier is leading

Height >>

Vertical offset of the yarn carrier for the carriage direction to the right

  • Positive values: The yarn carrier is moved upwards.

Negative values: The yarn carrier is moved downwards.

Description

Description of the yarn carriers, which are used when plating.

Example:
2 yarn carriers are plating, therefore the first is leading and the second is following.

 

    10
    Select the YPI index (1) and enter it at the color below A.
  1. The index (1) will be allocated to the yarn color (leading yarn carrier).
    Default: 0.0.
    2. 11
    Allocate the YPI index (2) to the second yarn color (= following yarn carrier).
    12
    Enter the settings for the selected YPI indices in the table.
    13
    Change the order of the yarn colors for the second plating color.

: The exchange of yarn colors in the 添纱颜色 tab determines the change (inverse plating) of the yarn carriers.

    14
    The allocation of the YPI index keeps untouched.
    15
    If necessary, create and assign two new entries for the plating color P3 in the table of the 添纱偏移 (YPI) tab.

 

Inverse plating (with system change)

For the so called Inverse Plating (with system change), a different plating color is required for each color change.

 

    16
    Draw the plating colors P1 + P2 into the design pattern.
    17
    Modify the knitting element 起头，1x1 by the plating color P3.

: The 起头，1x1 of the example is platted by the plating color P3.

    18
    If desired, define a cycle for length control in the control column.
    19
    If desired, modify the value under 反向添纱 in the 更多设置 tab of Configuration:

 

Maximum quantity of needles with separating knitting rows to several systems.

  • Color fields up to 27 needles wide are divided up = inverse plating
  • Color fields wider than 27 needles are not divided up = Stoll-ikat plating®

: The default setting depends on the gauge: = 2 inch minus one needle.

 

    20
    Carry out all the steps of processing.

Knitting sequence of inverse plating with exchanging systems (change between the systems):
