• 

导入图片

Context menu of the 花型元素 tool window

• Yarn carrier color may occur in the created pattern element by the import as the colors of picture are related to the pattern colors by the RGB values.
• 
• You can exclude the use of yarn carrier colors by 使用导纱器色.

Fully Fashion / Lined Shape

The 剪切模型 function is omitted. The feature of creating a raster-shape (see below) replaces this function.

New graphical tools are available to edit the shape.

• 线表 / 镜像翻转
• You can select the side of the source when mirroring the stepping and / or the attributes.
• 从左向右镜像
• 从右向左镜像
• 
• Display of shapes in the tool windows
• Lined shapes of the 步 input format are marked in the 模型 tool window.
• 
• The display of a pattern with pending shape in the 花型 tool window has changed.
• Up to now:
• 
• New
• 
• A common symbol without concrete contour represents the pending shape.
  Relevant buttons only appear according to the state of processing of the pattern.
• Graphical Editing
• You can edit lined shapes (beside the 步 input format) graphically with the new tools.
• If the 编辑线模型 (Y) mode is enabled, these new tools are also available for the pending shape directly on the pattern.
• Moving the shape point by the left mouse button
• Adding a shape point at the cursor position
• 
• Moving by the arrow keys of the keyboard
• Moving a shape point is modified.
  The following shape points will no longer be moved accordingly; they will keep their positions.
• Tip: Select the all shape points you want to move.
• Improvement of moving marking points, shape elements and knitting ranges:
  Activating the button of the status bar is required now.
• 
• Multiple selection is possible now.

Fully Fashion / Raster-shape

The new procedure creating fully fashion patterns independently from a pending lined shape.

A raster-shape contains shape edges and shape markings.

The procedures of raster-shape and pending lined shape cannot be mixed up.

With import from M1plus (starting with version 7.5), a fully fashion pattern will always be created as raster-shape.

• Raster-shape / Shape Symbols
• You will find the shape symbols for editing the raster-shape in the 织针动作 tool window.
  Needle Actions
• 
• 模型外
• 模型内
• 模型边缘(F2)
• 模型标记
• 向左排列
• 向右排列
• 楔形
• 开领点
• 填充开领
• 填充开领
• 边缘组织
• 模型边缘前板线圈长度
• 模型边缘后板线圈长度
• 删除模型数据
• If the shape symbols are not mutually exclusive, you have a multiple selection by the CTRL key.
• You can no longer insert the 模型外 needle action into the pattern.
• Note 1:
  The selected shape symbol overwrites the existing shape symbols when inserting it into the pattern.
  You can enter the shape symbol in addition by the CTRL key pressed.
  You can remove the shape symbol by the CTRL-ALT key.
• Note 2:
  删除模型数据 Removes all shape symbols and the edge colors.
  If you select 删除模型数据 in combination with another shape symbol, only the selected shape symbol will be removed from the pattern.
• Note 3:
  The same logic is now used for the do not sink symbols as well.
• Raster-shape / View
• You can toggle the shape edges (at the left of image) and shape symbols (at the right of the image) by both of the new button of the status bar.
• Note: Use the F2 key to toggle both buttons together.
• 
• Combined with the new buttons 禁用背景 / 禁用前景色, the pattern will be displayed in its raster-shape.
• 
• Raster-shape / Context Menu
• Special items for the raster-shape are available in the context menu of the symbol view of the pattern.
• 
• 转换模型为栅格模型
  The data of the lined shape of a pattern with pending shape will converted to a raster-shape.
• 打开模型边缘 and 打开模型标记 display the tool windows of the same names.
• 检查栅格模型
  Errors are reported as warnings.
• 删除栅格模型
  Removes all shape symbols from the pattern.
  After it, you can position a lined shape again.
• Now, the functions 添加缺失的模型符号 and 根据栅格模型创建新模型 apply to the raster-shape.
• Raster-shape / Creating
• Converting a pending lined shape creates automatically a complete raster-shape.
• If there is no lined shape available for the pattern, create the raster-shape manually by drawing-in the 模型外 areas, the shape edges, the shape symbols and the markings.
  All drawing tools are available for it.
• In the 模型边缘 tool window, you create, edit and select for drawing, the shape edge and its knitting technique for fading-out or its special stitch length.
• 
• In the 方向 column, you specify the side of the fabric piece for the shape edge.
  The upright line represents 模型外.
  The direction is important for modules greater 1x1 used for fading-out.
• In the 模型标记 tool window, you create, edit and select for drawing, the shape markings and their knitting technique, their anchor points and distances.
• 
• In the Z 层 column, you can specify the order if overlaying knitting techniques of different shape markings occur.
  The example shows the needle action above the cable module.
• Note: Shape edges and shape markings in use are shown in the 模型符号 section of the 织针动作 tool window.
• Raster-Shape / Modifying
• A new tool has been developed in order to edit the raster-shape graphically and quickly. This appears at the user control if a edge color with shape symbol is selected.

1. Modifying a Shape Edge
2. 
• By the F7 key at the cursor position (left marking of the image), the shape data will be applied to the user control and the tool appears (right marking of the image).
• Meaning starting from the left:
  Tool applies to shape color #5 / widen the shape edbe by 1 / reduce the shape edge by 1 / set the shape edge to the selected width
• The shape symbol will be shifted according to the selection.
• The narrowing shape symbol will be kept untouched if you remove it from the selection (with the small x).
  Only the narrowing shape symbol will be modified if you remove the fading-out shape symbol.
• Repeated tapping the F7 key at cursor position:
  
2. Modifying within selection
• Selection via shape edge:
  Shape edge #5 will be modified within the selection.
• Switching off the selection icon by the small x button activates the shape edge in total.
• 
• Selection of several shape edges:
  The shown shape edge will be modified within the selection. You can switch to the other shape edge by picking its color with F6 (color under the cursor)
• 
• Switching off the edge color by the small x button activates all shape edges within the selection.
• 
• 
  You can modify both sides of the shape in common by a row selection.
  You can make the row selection quickly by the magic wand and the pressed SHIFT key.
  You can create each new selection without deselecting the shape attributes.
  Therefore, press the ^ key.

Knitting Program

ASCON device for the yarn length control is supported.

• Yarn Length Control (YLC)
• Select the operating mode in 配置 / 更多设置.
• 
• Selecting an operating mode makes the 纱线长度控制（YLC） control column available.
• 
• You can exclude individual pattern areas from measuring and controlling via the control column.
• 
• You allocate the yarn carriers to the measuring wheels in the 导纱器 tool window of the preview of yarn carriers.
• 
• After the allocation, the data will be applied to the纱线长度 tab of the Setup Data tool window.
• 
• Note:
  You can select the operation mode directly in the Setup data as well. The selected operation mode will be adjusted between Setup data and configuration and vice versa.
