Using McCunn Method to Construct A Basic Sleeve Pattern: Difference between revisions

== This tutorial describes how to use ValentinaSeamly2D to create the basic sleeve block == <!--T:1-->

The measurements correspond to the following standard valentinaSeamly2D measurements:

To begin creating a sleeve pattern using the McCunn method, open ValentinaSeamly2D. Figure 2 shows the window that will be displayed when ValentinaSeamly2D is first opened before pattern creation has begun.

The basic window shown in Figure 2 will remain visible during the rest of the pattern creation and until the ValentinaSeamly2D program is terminated. Click “Measurements” and select “Load Individual” from the drop down menu. Load the measurement file you plan to use. (The measurement file would have been created previously using the TAPE program and include the following measurements as a minimum: L01, L16, L11, D04, L02.)

Each time ValentinaSeamly2D creates a new pattern piece a base point is created. Because “McCunn-basic-sleeve” is the first pattern piece in the pattern file created in this example, the base point is labeled “A”.

Several tools exist as part of the ValentinaSeamly2D software program. A general description of these tools may be found in under [[UserManual:Tools]]. When using each tool, you will find additional information in the context specific [[UserManual:Tools#Help_sentence]]
