This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

title: Respect draft settings

|
|
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
|
|
}
|
|
```
