Proportional Grading

This operation is used to provide equal series values on the X and Y axes of the Cartesian coordinate system for the part.

  1. In the Pattern Design screen, the Proportional Series icon is clicked from the Series menu.

 

  1. The part point where the series will be applied is selected with the mouse, and the series direction is determined by the mouse movement.
  2. After the direction is selected, the desired series value is entered into the Series Value window that opens.

 

To add a series value in a different direction to the same point, the direction is reselected with mouse movement, and the series value is entered. Series values can be entered in a maximum of two directions: (+X or -X and +Y or -Y).

This process is applied to all points where a series is to be assigned. Points without an assigned series will automatically receive a series value between two series points.

For points that should not receive a series value, a Fixed Value (Sbt) is assigned by pressing the "S" key on the keyboard. (0:0)
