Or, at times, I leave simulation running when I am correcting length, include all the bottom points and lines of what I am shortening and nudge away. Use the method above or, select just the points or lines you want to correct and nudge them a bit at a time, resync the pieces in the pattern window, then resimulate. If you are editing your pattern once sewn, you shouldn't have to unsew it to rescale your pieces. If you need to rescale the entire pattern or even just pieces, try the Transform Pattern tool (Short cut A) No, was not aware of that action, I will have to try it though. The down side (unless I'm missing something) is you still have to re-sew the new part back in place.Īs an aside, last night I found out by accident that if you drag a section and hit the RMB that a dialog box lets you then type in the distance of the move.

Yeah, I've been making copies and then cutting them to fake it. MarcusLaGrone wrote:I guess I'll wait and see if MD5 delivers on that point. I've done it a thousand times and works like a charm. Now you can use the curve tool on the second pattern matching the curve on the first (now underneath) exactly. Right click on the first piece and Order > Send to back. Then put the pieces back together matching your new side points. If you need to create curves after you've split them, create the curve on the first piece. Now you have two pieces, maintaining your original shape. On the copy, select all the points from the top to the new points(line), but don't select those new points. On the first piece, select all the points from the bottom to the new points (line), but don't select those new points. Now copy the pattern, so you have two identical. Essentially this is where you want to cut. Use the Add Point tool to place a point on the right seam line and the left seam line. You have one piece that you want to split, let's say it is a t-shirt front.
