Description |
Copy/ Paste |
The Copy/paste button provides you with three options:
Copies the length values from the segment length dialog box.
Pastes the values of the copied segment to a different selected segment. You can paste either the value that was copied from the Segment Length dialog or from the Compare Length dialog.
Pastes only the delta between the sizes of the original segment and the selected segment (and not the segment values.) You can use this option only when the “Base Size Only” box is enabled and checked. |
Base Size Only |
Use this command to control each size length separately and also to paste all the copied sizes lengths (from the Compare Length Window) to the selected segment. The 'Extend By' box in this table allows you to decide if the copied line should be extended to meet the existing lines of a pattern piece. The Check box is enabled only when the first and last point selected are grade points, and there is a least one grade point in between. |
