Match Curve Tool

What it Does

Reshapes one curve so it has the same shape as another curve. The first curve you select is the target and stays as it is. The second curve is the one that changes.

Use this when two seams must have the same shape, for example a front and back side seam.

The two curves must have the same number of curve points. Curve points are the green points that control a curve's shape. If the numbers differ, the tool tells you, and you need to select Cancel, then use the Add Curve Point Tool so both curves have the same number.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Match Curve icon
2. Select the target curve, the curve whose shape you want to copy, then select Continue
3. Select the curve to be reshaped, then select Continue
4. Select the end point of the target curve to start matching from, then select Continue. Hover over a name in the list to see that point highlighted in the workspace
5. Select the end point of the curve being reshaped that lines up with the point you just chose. Hover over a name to see it highlighted
6. The curve is reshaped to match the target. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to discard it

warning

After you select Save, the second curve keeps its new shape. Check the workspace before you save.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the match is remembered along with the curves and end points you chose.
