Shapewizard: Determine docking points and k&w Arrangements

The shape elements are connected by knitting at the docking points.

I. Open the graphical shape display in order to define the docking points:

1: Open the Shape View and the Docking Points dialog box with the icon in the toolbar of the Shapewizard.

Element	Function
Sleeve - body	Set the docking point sleeve - body. The connection line is the first knitting row after the sleeve-body connection.
Suspend body	Set the docking point Suspend body. Compensation of the length difference in the case of a sleeve longer than the body. Example: saddle shoulder
Suspend sleeve	Set the docking point Suspend sleeve. Compensation of the length difference in the case of a body longer than the sleeve. Example: Inserted sleeve
Remaining Narrowing	Set the docking point Remaining Narrowing. Connection of the stitches remaining at the end of the sleeve to the body. Example: Inserted sleeve
Difference	The difference of rows will be displayed when setting the connecting lines.
Display field for the name of the knitting cycles	If the cursor is placed in the graphical presentation of the shape display after determining the knitting cycles, then the name of the respective knitting cycle is shown.
Collar	Set the docking point Collar. The collar element is set to corresponding width by the connection.
Measuring	You can messure a distance within a shape element with the Measuring button and the left mouse button pressed. The result is displayed in Columns and Rows.
Delete all lines	Delets all specified docking points.

The docking points form a connection line between sleeve and body and determine the first continuous knitting row after the sleeve-body connection.

2: Move the cursor in the element to be connected and specify the end position of the connection, then release the left mouse button.

3: Change the position by a manual entry in the Docking Points dialog box in order to correct a docking point.
- or -
Press to delete a connection.

Press the Ctrl key while specifying the docking points, in order to jump with the cursor automatically to the nearest edge start or edge end.

Always set the connecting line on the left collar side.
The same position is automatically applied for the right side.
If the collar is to be positioned asymmetrically, then you can overwrite the positions.

The determined k&w Arrangements are represented color coded in the grafical Shape Display.

Key	Function
Determine k&w Arrangements	By pressing the Determine k&w Arrangements button, the shapes are checked and the sequences required for technical processing are determined.
Initialize	The determined k&w Arrangements are deleted and the shapes are reloaded. A redetermination of the k&w Arrangements is required for further editing.

2: Save the shape as kaw file via the File / Save menu or via after editing.

The elements of the shape (front, back, sleeve and collar) and the kaw file must all be located in the same directory.
