Most people will design patterns and sew for specific people - either customers or family and friends. And, as one can read all over the internet, standard sizes do not fit everyone and always need adjustments. Therefore, '''
If you followed the tutorial on '''Multisizes''', then you will already have covered a number of things which I will only refer to in this tutorial. As we covered centimeters in '''Multisizes''', we will use inches in Individual sizes.

I have added fictitious information. You may add mobile numbers or any other information that you deem necessary to identify and contact the person once the pattern blocks have been prepared and this information will be attached to this measurement file until you delete the file or change the information.<br>
I am going to explain all the items in the top menu starting with File.<br>

Line 39:
* '''Open Standard''' - This will open a Multisize (Standard) measurements file.<br>
* '''Open Template''' - This will open a measurement Template file that you have previously created. Templates have not yet been covered in the tutorial, but once you have been over the tutorials, I’m sure you will be able to make your own measurement templates according to the items you wish to create and the measurements you prefer to work with, which will also include the basic information that you would like, thus saving you time in setting things up from scratch each time you wish to create a measurements file. The only difference in a template file from other files is the location that the file is saved to. And by choosing ‘Open Template’ will take you directly to the templates folder.
:
* '''Create from Existing''' - This option will create a new measurements file from one you created before, which you will be able to edit and save under a different name.<br>
* '''Save''' - Saves a measurement file, or you can use Ctrl+S or the button on the front screen. I’m a firm believer in saving often, so I normally use the Crtl+S or the button, depending on wether I have the mouse in my hand or my hands on the keyboard.<br>
Line 46:
* '''Read Only''' - This is a very clever inclusion that locks the measurement file so that no changes can be made to it.<br>
* '''List of Recent Measurement Files''' - Next is a list of recent files opened to help you quickly find and open the one you are busy with. This list accommodates 5 files.<br>
* '''Preferences''' - And here we come to the all important one. This is where we set up our personal preferences. These preferences will be the same every time you open

** '''Configuration'''
** '''GUI Language''' – You can change this if you chose a language when installing
** '''Decimal Separator Parts with OS Option'''s – I suggest you don’t change this because it is automatically set to use whatever you have set your operating system to use.
** '''Patternmaking System''' – One often studies a lot of different patternmaking systems and incorporates different items from each, however, if you have only 1 system that you use, you may wish to specify which system and perhaps the books name here. This is by no means compulsory.

A moment may be taken to sort the items into the order of our measurement sheet, if you wish, also covered in the previous '''Multisize Tutorial'''.<br>
It is at this point where things change quite a bit from the Multisize Tutorial...<br><br>
When entering Individual Measurements, we only take ONE person's height and width into consideration. Therefore, we only have ONE box to enter measurements into.<br>
However, this box not only takes ''actual measurements'' but also '''''formulas'''''.<br>
Line 141:
** sin<br>
** cos<br>
**[[Min (function)|min]]<br>
**[[Max (function)|max<br>]]
** avg<br>
** fmod<br>
Line 150:
** '''waist_circ / _pi'''<br>
If the waist_circ = 31.5”, this formula will return 10.0268” which corelates to 31.5” * 7 / 22.<br><br>
