Filtering of Pattern Parameters Revised

You can apply the filtering of the pattern parameters to the whole Project or the active pattern in the View menu bar or in the Pattern Parameters tool window.

Scope of Usage

This setting applies to the following areas:

• Entries shown in the Used tab of the Pattern Parameters tool window
• Entries available in all the selection menus with pattern parameters
• Entries available in the context menu of the control columns

Effect

• Project
  The entries are filtered according to the whole project.
  The following entries are displayed:
• All entries that are present in the patterns, in the knitting elements or in other settings of the project.
• All Sintral entries that are present in this project.
• All entries that belong to the favorites.
• All entries that are applied to the Setup.
• Project
  The entries are filtered according to the active pattern.
  The following entries are displayed:
• All entries used in this pattern.
• All Sintral entries used in this pattern
• All entries that belong to the favorites.
• All entries that are applied to the Setup.
• If a knitting element is open and active, the entries of the knitting element are displayed together with the entries of the active pattern.

Your Own Entries in the Pattern Parameters

In the Pattern Parameters tool window, your own entries are displayed in the respective tab Own.

• Renamed Tabs:
• User => Used
• Default => STOLL Template
• Show Setup Data Only => Setup

Export and import NP values as Excel table

You can save and load these values by an Excel file in the Stitch Length tab of the Pattern Parameters dialog box.

Import Pattern Parameter Template into Pattern Project

Now, you can import pattern parameter templates into an existing pattern project.

• You can open the Import Pattern Parameters function of the backstage view.
• Select the desired pattern parameter template and import it into the current pattern project.

Default Setting for Control Columns within Pattern Parameters Templates

You can save the default settings of the column header of the control columns as well into the Pattern Parameters Template

• The Save Pattern Parameters as Template selection dialog appears in order to export a pattern parameters template.
• Enable the Default Values of Control Columns check box of this dialog box.
• Select the pattern from which the control column data is to be transferred.

Pattern Parameters Template for Knitting Elements of the Knit Explorer

You can apply a pattern parameters template to knitting elements when you open or create them in the Knit Explorer.

If a knitting element is open, you can also import any pattern parameter template.

Additional identifier for the entries in the tables of pattern parameters

Almost all pattern parameters table have the new Name column.

• This identifier enables the entry to be uniquely identified.
• This identifier cannot be entered more than once in a table.
• Entries from different tables can have identical identifiers.

Behavior:

• Requirements
• A module, pattern element or shape with an entry that can be identified by an identifier was loaded into a pattern.
• The pattern contains entries with identical identifiers.
• The O column determines the effect
• If the check mark is set in the O column for entries in the pattern:
• The entry from the module, pattern element or shape overwrites the corresponding entry in the pattern.
• 
• If the check mark is not set in the O column for entries in the pattern:
• The entry of the pattern is retained.
• The entry from the module, pattern element or shape is ignored.
  

Knitting Elements - Delete Unused Entries Was Reworked

Delete Unused Entries function in the context menu of the tool windows Modules, CA, MA and Pattern Elements.

• Up to now
• Function affects all 4 tool windows in common.
• Now
• Function is limited to the respective tool window.
• Only the unused entries of the active tool window are deleted.

Recognition Images for Modules

• An image file can be assigned to each module in its properties for better visualization.
• This image is displayed wherever the module can be selected.
  
• The image is displayed as a tooltip in the selection menus.
  

You make the settings for the module display in the Project Settings tab of the Options dialog box:
Show Fabric Image

Changing the knitting technique in the pattern automatically replaces the CAs.

Draw binding-off modules into the pattern.

In the pattern with an applied lined shape, you can draw binding-off modules manually into the pattern layer.

Delayed Casting-off with Binding-off Modules

With binding-off modules, it may be necessary to insert the final binding-off with a spacing into the pattern.

In the binding-off module, the final binding-off rows are therefore marked with the # symbol in the row definition column.

The properties of the module contain this function:

Delayed Cast-off
Cast-off After Pattern Rows

If the function is active, the drop rows marked with # are entered into the pattern with the specified offset.

Alternative Shape Edge or Color Field Edge in CA

• In the color segment, mark the columns of the repeating area with numbers.
• Draw different border areas to the left and right of the repeating area and mark them with the respective numbers.
• The numbers of the edge columns of the repeat area in the pattern define the shape edge areas or color field areas to be used for the left and right.
• If the left edge column of the inserted repeat area in the pattern is marked with the number 1, then the left edge area marked with the number 1 is inserted to the left of it.
  Marked green in the example image
• If the right edge column of the inserted repeat area in the pattern is marked with the number 2, then the right edge area marked with the number 2 is inserted to the right of it.
  Marked red in the example image

The same applies to the shape edge:

Raster-Shape as Pattern Element

You can create and handle raster-shapes as a pattern element.

• Select an area of the pattern with raster-shape.
• Call up Create Pattern Element with Raster Shape Data only function of the context menu.
• Or create it without selection from the entire design.
• The pattern element only consists of shape edges, shape markings and shape symbols.
  All the other data will be ignored.
• You can draw with these three only.
• Marking

In this way, raster shapes can be saved, edited and applied to any pattern quickly and easily.

Combining Main Shape Lines

In a lined shape with input format stitches or steps, several contiguous main lines can be combined into one main line.

User Defined Curve Type

You can select and combine the lines in line table as well.
Combine Shape Lines function of the context menu

Create Shape From Image

New lined shape project (dialog box)

DXF Export Reworked

The Lined Shape Editor provides the Export as DXF File function.

This saves the selected lined shape as a DXF file.

This function was reworked.

When exporting, new shape points can be created in the following dialog for the start width and the minimum height at the end of the line.

As a result, the DXF shape is created true to size according to the lined shape.
