Equalize Line Length Tool

What it Does

Makes one group of lines or curves the same total length as another group. You pick the group to match, then the group to change, then the end point that moves.

Use this when two edges must be the same length, such as a sleeve cap and an armhole, and you do not want to measure and calculate by hand.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Equalize Length icon
2. Select one or more lines or curves that have the length you want to match, then select Continue
3. Select one or more lines or curves to change, then select Continue. These are shown in green
4. Select the end point on the green lines where the change should be made, then select Continue
5. The tool moves that point so the green lines add up to the same length as the first group
6. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to discard it

info

Only the green line that ends at the point you chose gets longer or shorter. It keeps its angle. The other lines in the groups do not change.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the change is remembered along with the lines and the point you chose.
