Abtrenholm Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 I am a bag designer and am having issues with pattern pieces. I cannot seem to get pattern pieces to scale down accurately. If you look at the uploaded pic, the black is the main pattern piece, the pink is the accurate scaling that I had to tweak using those little short black lines to accurately set the distance between both curves. The green shape is what happens when all I do is use the "Transform" box to resize the shape. As you can see, there's a fair bit of tweaking that has to be done. I have tried looking for videos on this issue, but nothing actually addresses this issue.
Dan C Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Hi @Abtrenholm, Sorry to hear you're having trouble and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. Unfortunately I'm not 100% certain of the best method for this, so I'd like to request a copy of your actual document so that I can test using this and provide some feedback for you. Can you please upload this to the below link for me, the once it has been uploaded reply here to me know? https://www.dropbox.com/request/1Ubd8sFqcggBCGmxZV4f Many thanks in advance! stokerg 1
Abtrenholm Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Sorry. I just realized I forgot to add some lines in the file that are important to see how I got where I got. Will fix and upload shortly.
Dan C Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Apologies for the delayed response and many thanks for your file! I believe your best option here is to use the Contour Tool to scale down your design, as shown in the below screen recording - Lines.mp4 Does this achieve what you're looking for?
Abtrenholm Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 I just did a quick test and that's definitely quicker than what I was doing. I thought I was going to lose my mind with how long it took before. Thank you! Dan C 1
