Working with modules: Module with docking points

Examples of application:

Pockets

Meaning

Module example

Stitch line

Common processing

: The modules A, B and C must contain the same type of docking points .
The result corresponds to the "separate processing" if the points are not placed border by border.

Separate processing

Properties:

A pattern row of the basic pattern is separated into two parts by a connecting point, a part for knitting-in and the other for knitting-out.
A connecting point integrates the additional rows of the module into the motif.
A module may have several docking points.

Example: Module with two docking points

Meaning of the markings:

Horizontally colored bars mark the knitting in or out rows.
Vertical colored bars limit the knitting row (= selection end).
They will be presented with different colors with several docking points.
The number of knitting rows in the module depends on the knitting in/knitting out direction.

Module height	Behavior	Example	Application
Odd number of knitting rows	Knit-in and knitting out direction differ.		Applications Pockets knit with 1 yarn carrier
Even number of knitting rows	Knit-in and knitting out direction are identical.		Pockets knit with 2 yarn carriers Trim pieces with button holes

Several interleaved docking points are possible.
I.e. several existing pattern rows can be processed.
With nested docking points, the sequences of the docking points for knitting-in or knitting-out must be the same.

Example	Before technical processing	After technical processing

For a better overview, the illustrations were produced with different colors.
Single-color modules can also be created.

Generate modules with docking points:

A module with a corresponding knitting sequence must be open in the Module Editor.

1: Call up the dialog box via the Module / Set Docking Points... menu.

The Set docking points dialog box appears.

	Function
<<	Starting direction to the left
>>	Starting direction to the right
?	Starting direction undefined
Delete Docking Points	The existing docking points will be deleted
Enter Carriage Direction	Specification of the carriage direction for the technical processing
	Processing with changing knitting direction (default)
	Processing with the same knitting direction
	Common processing
	Separate processing
Apply	Apply the settings to the module
Exit	Close Window

2: Select and group knitting rows in order to define a docking point.

3: Specify the docking points accordingly:

Mode of processing
Define the starting direction:

Undefined: ?
Carriage direction: << or >>

4: Click on the Apply button.

The markings for docking points will be applied to the selected rows.
