Drafting Patterns in Draw Mode

This section explains how to create and draft patterns in Draw Mode.

Overview

Warning: Understanding this section requires previous knowledge of pattern making techniques.
If you are new to patternmaking, we recommend you first start with the instructional material listed in the Patternmaking References section.

At this stage, you draw points, lines, curves and arcs to draft your pattern pieces. Any objects you draw as guides, but which are not part of the final pattern, can be excluded from the workpieces on the next stage.
