Generate Module Arrangement from Selection

The situation:
Different transfer processes result from structure modules drawn-in neighboring. When expanding the modules, these transfer processes will be automatically split into a sequence of technical rows. This sequence could lead to undesired stitch distortion due too large racking courses.
The stitch distortion can be avoided arranging the transfer processes strategically.

Generate a Module Arrangement from a selection:

    1
    Create the pattern in the Design Mode.
    2
    Draw in structure modules.
    3
    Select a knitting row with different transfer processes

You can also generate Module Arrangements above row areas that are not contiguous.

    4
    Click the icon in the Default toolbar.
    -  or  -
    Run the Generate from selection / Module Arrangement function in the Module menu.
  1. MA-Editor with Module Arrangement from the selection

The settings in the Module / Insert Modules (Settings) menu initially determine the racking priority in the Module Arrangement.
The priority settings in the Module / Insert modules (settings) menu will be ignored if the sequence of the transfer processes are specified in a Module Arrangement

    5
    Click the Aligning icon in the Drawing tools toolbar.
    6
    Activate the options Row in the Tool Properties dialog box.
    7
    Click on Aran transfer processes that will be heavily distorted by the subsequent cable transfer processes.
    8
    Move the cursor to the very top in the column.
    9
    Click on the yellow bar above the last row.
  1. The selected transfer processes will be moved to an additional row.
    10
    Repeat the movement for all desired transfer processes.
    11
    Select empty rows and delete with the DEL key.
    The transfer processes from the Aran modules will now come after the cable transfer.
    2. 12
    Close MA editor.
    Confirm the query Apply Modifications? with Yes.
  1. The Module Arrangement will automatically be entered in the control column of the selected pattern area.

    The Module Arrangement will be saved with the pattern and can be selected in the Local Module Arrangements tab of the Module toolbar.

You can drag & drop modules into a new and empty Module Arrangement in order to control the transfer processes of these modules.
