nikhil 0becd057b2 fix: Broken/misleading links to designs' source code
Some of these links were actually broken, since they expect to find designs under the `packages/` directory in the current `develop` branch. Other links were technically okay, since they link to old commits, but updating those links may still help to reduce confusion.

Also fix a reference to `packages/unice` in a `netlify.toml` file. (Untested, but I don't think this is an actual Netlify configuration.)

title: Storing the seam length to use in another part
for: developers
about: Shows how to store a seam length so you can true the seam of another part
---
<Note>
##### See this example in our source code
- [designs/aaron/src/front.js](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/blob/3ca5d0edfe54c7ac20aaf3af2f3544aee72f9b99/designs/aaron/src/front.js#L103)
</Note>
Often when designing patterns, we need to _true a seam_ which means to make sure
that two parts that need to be joined together are the same distance.
The example below is from Aaron and stores the length of the armhole seam:
```js
// Store length of armhole and neck opening
store.set(
'frontArmholeLength',
new Path()
.move(points.armhole)
.curve(points.armholeCp2, points.strapRightCp1, points.strapRight)
.length()
)
```
