Technical Modules

工艺模块

A 工艺模块 is a knitting element that is entered into the pattern by the technical processing according to specific rules.
Technical modules only contain technical rows and cannot be drawn-in manually into the pattern.

A 工艺模块 generally consists of tiles that are applied in specific situations.

Each tile consists of a search area and a processing area.
The search area contains the specifications to be searched for in the pattern.
The processing area contains the structure that is to be applied in the pattern.

The clear identification of a technical module can be found in the properties of the knitting element under 编织元素类型 . You can define and modify the 编织元素的次类型 but not the specification of the knitting element type.
