Add Cut on Fold Tool

What it Does

Marks the edge that goes on the fold of the fabric on every size of a grading set at once. Use this for a piece that is drafted as half, such as a center front, so it is cut as one whole piece.

The tool draws a bracket with an arrow at each end and the words "Place On Fold" along the line you select.

To learn more about cutting on the fold, see Pattern Markings & Annotations in the Academy.

How to Use

1. Select a pattern set with the Activate Base Pattern tool (only needed once per set)
2. Activate the tool by clicking the Add Cut on Fold icon
3. Select the line on the base pattern that is on the fold, then select Continue. The symbol is added to the matching line on every size
4. Select Other Side if the symbol is on the wrong side of the line. It turns on every size
5. Select Show All Sizes to check the other sizes. Select Show Base Only to go back
6. Select Save to keep the symbols or Cancel to abort

You can select straight lines only. Curves cannot be placed on a fold.

warning

If the line cannot be found on a size, the tool lists those sizes and nothing is added to them.
