On this page we will create a simple pattern together. We will use the individual functions step by step and thus work through the complete process in Seamly2D.

Line 31:

After that you can save the mesurement file.

=== Seamly2D ===

Now you can open Seamly2D and create a new draft block by clicking on the '''<code>New</code>''' button. Give the draft block a good name.[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 06.png|center|500x500px]][[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 07.png|center|500x500px]]

The next step will be to open the SeamlyME measurement file you just created. Now you can use those measurements[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 08.png|center|300x300px]]You can modify the name of your starting point to your liking. We will recommend to stick with the default values for the beginning. You can define the coordinates to even number if you wish.[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 09.png|center|500x500px]][[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 10.png|center|500x500px]]We can now start drawing our first nodes. Select the <code>'''Point - Length and Angle'''</code> - Tool and click on point <code>'''A'''</code> to begin drawing.

Once you hit enter, a window will open where you can modify some properties.

* Make sure that the angle is set to 270°

* Select the formula tool for the length. We will chose our measurement '''<code>croth_length_f</code>'''. If you misspell something or entered a wrong formula, the word '''<code>error</code>''' will show up. Amend the formula accordingly

You can read instructions for each tool in the bottom left corner of the screen.[[File:Advice.svg|left|50x50px]]'''Important note:'''

Angles are measured anti-clockwise from 0 degrees (= horizontal to the right) to 360 degrees (= horizontal to the right)

Zoom to fit all, so you can see the new node. You can also use the scrollwheel of your mouse[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 14.png|center|350x350px]]
