Grading (Non-Proportional)

This function is used to assign different grading values on the X and Y axes of the Cartesian coordinate system for a pattern piece.

In the Pattern Design screen, click the Grading (Non-Proportional )   icon from the Grading menu.

The point where non-proportional grading will be applied is selected with the mouse, and the Grading Table window opens.

• The base size (e.g., size 38) is displayed as inactive and cannot be edited.
• In the table, X and Y columns are used to enter the differences between sizes, which are then assigned as grading values to the selected point.

Example: While all sizes progress with a difference of 0.5 cm on the X-axis and 0.5 cm on the Y-axis, size 42 may differ as X = 0.75 cm, Y = 0.75 cm.

If the Show Grading button is active, the entered values are displayed on the piece in real time.

Accumulative Grading: When checked, the distance of each size from the base size is reflected in the table.

The X and Y columns represent the distance between two sizes in the Cartesian coordinate system, while the D column represents the distance between two consecutive points.

When required, a value can be entered in the D column to automatically calculate the X and Y distances.

From the top section of the Grading Table, you can perform operations for the selected point:

	Previous Point: Moves to the previous point.
	Next Point: Moves to the next point.
	Copy: Copies the grading values from the selected point.
	Paste: Pastes the copied grading values to another point (same grading name is used).
	Paste Special: Pastes the copied grading values under a new grading name.
	Paste X: Pastes only the X column values of the copied grading to the X column of another point.
	Paste Y: Pastes only the Y column values of the copied grading to the Y column of another point.
	Fix: Resets the grading values at the selected point.

With the buttons at the bottom of the Grading Table you can perform operations between the X and Y values:

 Transfer values from one column to the other.

 Clear: Deletes all values in the selected column.

 Calculate: Fills in values automatically based on the sizes immediately above and below the base size.

 Toggle +/–: Reverses the sign (positive/negative) of the values in X or Y.

 A non-proportional grading property is assigned to the selected point.

You can delete both the grading values and the grading name from the selected point.
