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 Use comb the option Sintral 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:

 

The Coordinate Display of needle bed center can be activated as a help in the column bar of the symbol view.

    3
    Open the Cycles dialog box via Pattern Parameters / Cycle....

Default

Repetition factor

Behavior

Entry in the selection list

Repeatable piece

Pattern area with the possibility of repeats

Multiple use with repetition factor

Middle piece

Center of motif

Will be used only once.
e.g. for Fully Fashion V-neck.

Connecting part

Left / right fabric selvedge

Each will be used only once.
e.g. pattern edge or for Fully Fashion in the narrowing area of the sleeve.

    4
    Enter the designation of the cycle under Name.
    5
    Allocate a cycle counter or a counter under RS.

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 Column under Cycle is preset by the selected columns.

    6
    Set the column type under behavior:
    7
    Enter under Number of repeats
    8
    Confirm the settings with Apply.
    9
    Call up the context menu in the column bar and activate Cycles.
  1. The inserted cycles are displayed colored in the column bar.
    10
    Open cycle table via Display cycles >> if necessary.
  1. The inserted column cycles are listed.
    11
    Change the specifications in the cycle table by clicking, if necessary.
    - or -
    Call-up the context menu to carry out changes in the cycle table.
