The function Inherit ( previously Insert) has been unified. Existing styles can be converted to the new variant.

• inherit basic block

• inherit objects
• inherit for modules
  • Inherit and link

When inheriting, screenshots are no longer taken.

For further explanations see Inherit.

In all functions that allow selection in the frame, the frame is now dragged over the selection with the pressed .

Delete in frame deletes all objects that are completely in the frame. All touched objects remain intact.

When inheriting in the frame, the touched objects are also inherited.

The point construction menu is now a dock that can be docked to the edges of the workspace and other docks. It can be switched from vertical to horizontal orientation.

The free mode is now switched automatically when the <Shift> key is pressed

When using intersection, the line that is clicked first automatically becomes the displacement line.

On the tool buttons, a small triangle indicates whether there are several variants for this tool. The last variant used is displayed in the toolbar and can be selected with the .

To select another variant, click on the button with the . and select the desired variant from the list.

The tools Line 10, Line 20 and the previously non-interactive line types have been combined into one universal line.

General step-by-step guide

• Select tool from the Toolbar.

• Activate / deactivate autostart and cyclic in the context bar .

• assign values if required
• if autostart active: adjust construction interactively
• if cyclic active: execute construction again

cutting line

The function cutting line is only active for the type line with direction . Having selected the cutting line, the new line does not have a given length; it is extended to or cut off at the cutting line. Clicking on switches to the mode for selection of the cutting line. A set cutting line can be deselected in this mode.

For more information see lines.

Circle 10 and Circle 20 and Rectangle 10 and Rectangle 20 were combined into Circle and into Rectangle. The circle and the rectangle can be called up in different variations. Switching to another variant is possible at any time in the interactive menu.

For more information, see Circle and Rectangle.

All previous point functions have been combined into one interactive point.

The point can also be constructed as a perpendicular point on a displacement line.

For further information see points.

Parallel 10 , Parallel 20 and the non-parallel have been combined into one parallel tool. Additional functions can be activated via options.

For more information see Parallels.

Separate and cut is one of the tools that are not yet interactive. The different functions can be selected directly in the toolbar, but are also available for selection in the context bar

Pick pictures, coloured markings of the objects and preview objects were added for a better understanding of the functions.

For more information, see Separate.

With the cut out tool, one or more line section are cut from a contour line. This occurs in the intersection of the contour line with line pairs for separate and cut respectively. Typical application is following the tool relocate dart , when dart hoods are to be generated subsequently. The active switch between separate and cut is omitted.

• Select tool from the Toolbar.
• In the context bar cyclic activate / deactivate
• Select a contour line for cutting out with respect to the right principle For certain construction processes, it is necessary to define what is the start and the end of a line. The line receives a direction. Grafis supports the user with the so-called "right principle cursor" which additionally has a direction indicator.
• Select separation line
• Select cutting line
• if required, select further separation and cutting lines

For more information, see Cut out.

For more information, see Link simply.

The start and end points can be reset.

For further information see Link

Each line object has an internal direction. With this function, the direction of a line is altered. This function is usually required only after corrections in mother parts.

Line directions are relevant for example for creating parallels and for measuring partial lengths, relative lengths and directions in relation to the line.

• Select tool from the Toolbar.

• click line for which the direction is to be inverted
• Quit the function with exit or right-click

A preview of the current line direction appears as soon as the cursor is positioned near the respective line.

The line direction is also displayed outside a function when pressing the <STRG> key and touching the line.

For more information, see change line direction.

The previous lengthen by and lengthen to have been replaced by the interactive lengthen.

lengthen to and lengthen by

With this tool, one or more lines are shortened or lengthened by a defined amount. Depending on the option, the alterations apply to all lines or each line individually. The click direction of the line determines where the adjustment takes place,

• select tool from the Toolbar.
• Activate / deactivate autostart and cyclic in the context bar .
• Pre-set values if necessary
• Select up to 20 lines to be extended, taking into account the right principle.
• Deposit line with right-click
• if required, adjust interactively

Displacement with value specification requires the entry of a displacement value in X-direction (DX) and Y-direction (DY). This value entry can be entered in predefined values in the context bar.

move from point to point

move with direction

See Move.

rotate from point to point

rotate with direction

rotate with angle

This tool rotates objects by a pre-set angle. The angle is stated in degrees and is identical in all sizes - as long as no break size-dependent adjustments have been made.

See Rotate.

With these tools, the objects are moved and rotated in one operation. These functions are especially useful for relocating yokes or relocating the shoulder seam.

rotate and move from point to point

rotate and move with direction

See Rotate and move.

Hook in

With this function, an object is hooked into another part; in the process, it is reduced or increased proportionally in correspondence with the clicked points. The hooked in object is graded proportionally to the part into which is was hooked.

See Hock.

Mirror from point to point

Mirror with direction

With the mirror tool, objects are mirrored at a mirror line.

The mirror line can be defined as a line from point to point or a line with direction . The mirrored objects can be copied and mirrored or just mirrored.

See Mirror.

The scale function increases or reduces objects in size in relation to absolute zero.

See Scale.

Under retransform , all transformation steps carried out on the active part are displayed and offered for repeat application. These include the transformation functions of move , rotate , rotate and slide , hock as well as mirror and scale.

See Retransformation.

Spread with line

This tool spread with lines is used when one or more spread lines have already been created. The number of spread lines cannot be changed subsequently.

Spread from point to point

Spread with direction

The tools spread from point to point and spread with direction are used if no spread lines have been created yet. They are based on a line construction analogous to line from point to point and line with direction . A type switch can be carried out subsequently at any time via the context bar in the interactive environment. The number of spread lines cannot be altered subsequently.

See Spread.

drape and shape from point to point

Drape and shape with direction

Drape and shape always requires a closed contour between the two base lines. The number of spread lines remains variable at any time.

The result of drape and shape is mostly commonly a completed product development. It already contains a number of individual development steps such as distribution of the spread lines, spreading itself, finalising of the contour with hood creation and shaping of the modelling curve.

Spreading and drape and shape can also be called in mother parts as the object structure remains existent.

Initially, two base lines are selected for drape and shape. These define the start and end of the spread lines later on. The spread area is determined via the first and last spread line. The number of interim spread lines can be adjusted interactively and thus, altered at any time. Drape and shape also offers the possibility of defining pleats or darts with relevant hood creation from within the tool.

See Drape and shape.

relocate dart

With this tool, an existing dart is relocated entirely or partially to one or more new positions.

shorten dart

With this function, one or more existing darts are shortened or lengthened along the centre axis by a given amount. The contour line remains unchanged.

Dart

This tool is used to construct darts. The edited line is pinched by the entered value. The tool replaces the previous tools Pinch 10 and Pinch 20.

Dart point to point

Dart with direction

The functions dart point to point and dart with direction start the same tool with different type preset. A type switch can be carried out subsequently at any time via the context bar in the interactive environment.

See Dart.

dart hood

pleat hood

The dart/ pleat hood tool is suitable for continuous contour lines also between the dart legs and for gaps in the contour line.

A maximum of 10 hoods can be constructed with one call.

See Dart/pleat hood.

The auxiliary programs can be called via the toolbar of the construction.
