Overview of reach marker: REACH MARKER is a marker making software in the REACH CAD family. It is used
to estimate the consumption of the garment or lay planning. REACH MARKER can work with a large number of
pattern pieces and with a wide size range. These markers can be plotted.

Menu bar: A menu is a list of menu items. Choosing a menu item opens a submenu and enables REACH
MARKER to carry out a command. Menus are arranged in a hierarchy. At the top level of the hierarchy is the
menu bar; menus drop down from the menu bar, and at the lower levels are sub menus. In REACH MARKER, a
menu item either carry out a command or opens a submenu.
Tool bar: A toolbar is a window below the menu that displays numerous buttons. Each button is associated with
a particular feature. Clicking on a tool bar button using the left mouse click will activate the corresponding tool. If
you hold the mouse over a button on the tool bar, REACH MARKER software displays brief feature information
of that tool.
Working area: This is the area used to create actual markers by dragging and placing the pieces from the Piece
bar.
Temporary working area: This is the area that is used to place the pieces when user is modifying a marker.
It is also used to place pieces from piece bar as well as from working area so as to reduce time in creating the
markers. Matching of pieces are also carried-out in temporary working area.
