Note: Input negative values for parallel lines inside the pattern and positive for parallel lines outside
the pattern.
Seam (Ctrl+F5): Seam is the option that enables extra allowance to the pattern that you have created.
• First select the Pattern Segment you want to incorporate the Seam Value by selecting the first last point of the
pattern segments in a clockwise direction.
(Note: If you want to add the same value of seam allowance for the whole pattern, you need to
double-click on any pattern point.)

Shrink (Ctrl + F6): It is used to add shrinkage to the pattern for warp and weft.
Input Positive values, if you want to increase the pattern dimension; and Negative values if you want to decrease
the pattern dimension.

(Note: The shrinkage values incorporated will always follow the grain line as the Warp and Cross
Grain as the Weft. However, if the grain line is not drawn on the pattern, then the Warp will always
be considered on the Y-Axis (Vertical) in the PDS)

Angle (Ctrl + F7): It is used to see the intersected angle between any two segments.
• Click on the first, second (Middle Point), and the third points of the Pattern/ Tracing.
• The enclosed angle between the three segments will be displayed in the status bar.
