Generate a Technical Container Module for Narrowing

Narrowing with a french shoulder:

Knitting and transfer mode
Left edge	Right edge

Watch out when generating modules:

The narrowing modules must be matched to the shape.
The stepping for narrowing existing in the shape must be observed by the racking step in the module.

I. Generate a module for knitting:

1: Via the Module / New / Module... menu call up the New Module dialog box.

2: Define the following in the dialog box:

Module Name

Take care of the racking step when specifying the module width.

2: Draw in the transfer procedure in the Module Editor.

3: After drawing-in transfers with racking delete the columns that are not needed.

4: Select the rows and group them to one pattern row.

5: Close the Module Editor with .

The module will be saved.

6: Generate a module for the right shape edge following the same procedure.

III. Generate Technical Container Modules for narrowing:

1: Via the Module / New / Technical container module… menu call up the Technical container module dialog box.

2: Drag the generated modules with drag-and-drop into the Technical container module.

IV. Save the modules in the Module Explorer of Database in a separate directory:

1: In the Module Explorer of Database under User / XY create a New module group.

2: Rename new folder.
for example French shoulder

3: Create a sub-folder for the elements in this folder.

4: Move the Technical Container Module into the new folder.

5: Move the elements for knitting and transferring into the sub-folder.

V. Another possibility: Save the modules in the Module Explorer of Database in a sub-group of the Technical directory:

1: Generate a New Module Group as sub-group of the corresponding knitting mode in the Module Explorer of Database under Technical / Narrowing.

2: Name the new module group.
Example: French Shoulder

3: Create a sub-folder for the elements in this folder.

4: Move the Technical Container Module into the new folder.

5: Move the elements for knitting and transferring into the sub-folder.
