Fold onto Point Tool

You can use the Fold onto Point tool when you want to verify a piece's balance by folding the piece from one point to another. No matter which point is clicked first, the smaller part is folded towards the other point. Starting from 15.6 you can now fold a point onto another piece, not only on the piece itself. This can be helpful when you are checking balance on a pattern, where a side seam or shoulder seam is offset for a new design style line. Instead of using the Fold In tool for this case, you can use the Fold onto Point Tool to easily check the balance.
