Jump to: navigation, search

This command is used to align pieces on the fabric according to defined stripe lines. The matching is done per piece, e.g. every piece is related to the stripes – like this all the pieces will match properly. Make sure to relate a piece only on the necessary axis (X or Y), so when nesting results will be improved.
