Define cycles for different widths (Sizes)
You can create different sizes with different elements for width control.
I. Define pattern cycles for different widths:
Width cycles with machines with comb:
Under start with selection the option has to be selected.
Result: Thereby the starting rows Casting-off and Comb thread will be inserted as a Sintral function.
- 1
- Save existing pattern under a new name and delete the length cycles.
- or -
Generate new pattern. - 2
- Select the columns for the width control in the column bar of the symbol view.
Watch out the following points with width cycles:
- Cycle width of the start:
- 1x1 rib: 2 needles
- 2x1 rib: 3 needles
- 2x2 rib: 4 needles
- Cycle of the draw thread
- Structure of the pattern (Cable / Aran)
The can be activated as a help in the column bar of the symbol view.
- 3
- Open the Cycles dialog box via / .

- Enter the designation of the cycle under .
- 5
- Allocate a cycle counter or a counter under .
If you do not enter anything in the RS field, the setting from the Configuration dialog box will be automatically used. (Default RS16)
The option under is preset by the selected columns.

- Set the column type under behavior:
- Repeatable piece
- Middle piece
- Connecting part
- 7
- Enter under
- the smallest size (number) for which the defined part is defined at .
- the biggest size (number) for which the defined part is defined at .
- the repetition factor for the repeatable part type at .
- 8
- Confirm the settings with Apply.

- Call up the context menu in the column bar and activate .
- The inserted cycles are displayed colored in the column bar.

- 10
- Open cycle table via Display cycles >> if necessary.
- The inserted column cycles are listed.

III. Example for different knitting sizes (= Size table)
- Connecting parts for the left and the right edge
- Different Repeatable parts for the width adaption
- Different Center parts for the motif center
