k&w File Managing and Basic Rules of Generating
Shape parts are necessary for generating a k&w file. The generation of shape parts is carried out in the shape editor.
Shape parts of a k&w file
- Sleeve (the shape contains both layers, L0 and L1)
- Front (front layer L0)
- Back (back layer L1)
- Collar (can be loaded for layer L0 or L1)
All shape parts of the k&w file must be saved in a common directory.
