The module width or module height in number of knitting rows is automatically entered in the related input field. This module consists of a maximum of 3 individual modules in a column. The starting module is inserted in the bottom row, the repetition module in the middle row and the end module in the top row. Only modules with a single pattern row are permissible.
    You can position the modules in the dialog box diagonally from left to right or diagonally from right to left. If you have inserted a starting or end module, the direction is fixed.

  1. The picture of the module appears as local module in the Modules toolbar. For this purpose the <Pattern name> entry in the list field must be selected.

In this case the module appears in the Module explorer in the New modules module group.

The pictures of the step modules have the icon in the lower right corner.
