=== Rotate Selected Objects (Shortcut R) ===
{|
|[[File:Rotation.svg|50x50px]]
|Used to duplicate and rotate objects
|-
|
|Click on the first item and, while holding down the <code>'''ctrl'''</code> key, select all the other items to be included in the rotation (or drag over all the items to select a lot of items). Press enter when done to complete the selection. Select the node around which the items will be rotated. Drag the selection around until they are in the general direction where you’d like the rotated to and enter the precise angle or formula.
|-

|
* Rotation pt: Selected rotation point
* Suffix: Suffix for the new points

{|
|[[File:Mirror by line.svg|50x50px]]
|Used to mirror objects from one side of a line to the other
|-
|
|Click on the first item and, while holding down the <code>'''ctrl'''</code> key, select all the other items to be included (or drag over all the items to select a lot of items). Press enter when done to complete the selection. Select the first and second nodes of the line
|-
|[[File:Advice.svg|50x50px]]
|'''Important note:'''By clicking on nodes a second time for the mirror line will remove the selection of that node and you will need to click on it again to reselect it
|-
|
|
*First line point: First point auf the line
*Second line point: Second point of the line
* Suffix: Suffix for the new points

=== Mirror Objects by Axis (Shortcut M, A) ===
{|
|[[File:Mirror by axis.svg|50x50px]]
|Used to mirror objects from one side of an axis to the other
|-
|
|Click on the first item and, while holding down the <code>'''ctrl'''</code> key, select all the other items to be included (or drag over all the items to select a lot of items). Press enter when done to complete the selection. Select the axis node and choose holrizontal or vertical mirrow mode

=== MoveObjects (Shortcut Alt+M) ===
{|
|[[File:Move.svg|50x50px]]
|Used to duplicate and move objects to a different part of the drawing area
|-
|
|Click on the first item and, while holding down the ctrl key, select all the other items to be included in the rotation (or drag over all the items to select a lot of items). Press enter when done to complete the selection. Drag the selection around to where you’d like to place them. You may enter direct distance and angle if you wish.
This tool is often used to check if the curves at the armholes/neck/crotch, etc. have a smooth transition
|-
|
|
*Suffix: Suffix for the new points
*Origin Point: Select the point from where the move tool will start
*Angle: Angle of the movement - You can define a fixed angle or use a formula for adaptive / calculated values
*Length: Length of the movement - You can define a fixed length or use a formula for adaptive / calculated values
*Rotation: Rotation of the selected nodes - You can define a fixed angle or use a formula for adaptive / calculated values

=== True Darts (Shortcut T, D) ===
{|
|[[File:True darts.svg|50x50px]]
|Used to create true darts of equal length and angle
|-
|
|Click on the first and second node of the base line and the three nodes of the dart. Draw in new lines connecting the new nodes
|-
|[[File:Advice.svg|50x50px]]
|'''Important node:'''For the moment the tool works only with straight base lines. Further development needed to handle curved seams.
|-
|
|
*Point name 1: Name of the first result point
*Point name 2: Name of the second result point
*1st base point: First point you selected
*2nd base point: Second point you selected
*1st dart point: Third point you selected
*2st dart point: Fourth point you selected
*3st dart point: Fifth point you selected

=== Export Drafts Block (Shortcut E, D) ===
{|
|[[File:Export.svg|50x50px]]
|Export visible nodes
|-
|
|Select a path where you want to save the visible nodes. You can select different file formats
|-
|[[File:Advice.svg|50x50px]]
|'''Important node:'''All visible nodes are saved. Even those from inactive draft blocks
|-
|
|
*Path: Select a path where to save the file
*Fileformat: Select a suitable file format.
* File name: Select a proper file name
* Quality: It sets the level of compression for those formats that use compression… like jpg. Not all fornats use compression. The more compression used the “quality” of the image degrades… ie it’s not as sharp.
