Specify the module for knitting mode of the collar.

4

Select the type of the sleeve-body connection.

5

7

Percentaged display of the length difference between sleeve and body

8

Short sleeve/short body

Length compensation between sleeve and body will be knit with residual yarn.

:Activate the checkbox if the length difference between the sleeve and body is greater than 20%.

Length compensation between sleeve and body will be done by suspension.

9

Optimized Running Time

A special k&w Arrangement (A25-3 tubulars x:1:x) for length compensation between sleeve-body-sleeve will be inserted.

Result:
The sleeve on the right will be knitted x-times - one row of the body - the sleeve on the left will be knitted x-times – one row of the body.

Traversing path of the carriage is shorter resulting in a shorter running time.

Default k&w Arrangement for the length compensation between sleeve-body-sleeve will be inserted.

Result:
Both sleeve are knitted in the same stroke whereas the body suspends. The traversing path of the carriage overruns both sleeves resulting in longer running time.

• This k&w Arrangement is necessary if you want to work with Color Arrangements.
• Not possible if Short-sleeve / Short body is active.

10

Use the standard k&w Arrangement

The X-Standard k&w Arrangement is inserted in areas without a automatically determined k&w Arrangement.
You have to overwrite this in the Shape View later.

For all areas for which no k&w Arrangement could be determined, no k&w Arrangement will be inserted.
