Adjust Dart Leg Tool

What it Does

Makes the two legs of a dart the same length. A dart is a wedge-shaped fold that is sewn out to shape fabric around the body. Its two legs must match, or the edges will not meet when the dart is sewn closed.

You pick the end point of the leg that is already the right length. The tool changes the other leg to match it.

Use this when a dart's legs are different lengths, for example after you have moved or reshaped a dart.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Adjust Dart Leg icon
2. Click the end point of the dart leg that is already the correct length. Do not click the dart apex
3. Select Continue. The other leg is adjusted to match, and the prompt tells you so
4. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to leave without changing anything

If the point you clicked is not the end of a dart leg, a message tells you so. Click Cancel or select a different point.

warning

Click the end of a leg of a registered dart, not the apex. See Register Dart if the dart is not registered.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the leg adjustment is remembered along with the point you selected.
