Apart from the pattern options that you configure for your pattern,
|
||
|
|
all FreeSewing patterns have a set of [draft settings](/reference/settings/) that can be tweaked
|
||
|
|
by the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While many of these will automatically be handled by FreeSewing, there are some
|
||
|
|
that you should take into account while developing your pattern. They are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Complete
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [complete](/reference/settings/#complete) setting is a boolean that is either true or false.
|
||
|
|
Its goal is to determine whether we should draft a *complete* pattern, or merely the outline.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Paperless
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [paperless](/reference/settings/#paperless) setting is a boolean that is either true or false.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A *paperless* pattern is a pattern that has extra dimensions so users can trace the
|
||
|
|
paper on fabric or paper without having the need to print it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Seam allowance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [sa](/reference/settings/#sa) setting is a number that controls the seam allowance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unless `sa` is zero, you should add the requested seam allowance to your pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Tip>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Use a multiple of `sa` for your hem allowance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Resist the temptation to use an absolute value for any seam allowance, including at the hem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always use a multiple of the `sa` value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</Tip>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To respect the `complete`, `paperless`, and `sa` draft settings, structure your parts as such:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
export default function(part) {
|
||
|
|
let { complete, sa, paperless } = part.shorthand()
|
||
|
|
// Your paths and points here
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if (complete) {
|
||
|
|
// Your snippets, text, helplines and so on here
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if (sa) {
|
||
|
|
// Your seam allowance here
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if (paperless) {
|
||
|
|
// Your dimensions
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return part
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
