cutonfold

The cutonfold macro adds a cut on fold indicator to your pattern.
It is provided by the cutonfold plugin.

Example of the cut on fold indicator added by this macro

macro('cutonfold', {
  from: points.cofLeft,
  to: points.cofRight,
  grainline: true
})

Property	Default	Type	Description
from		Point	The startpoint of the cut on fold indicator
to		Point	The endpoint of the cut on fold indicator
margin	5	Point	The distance in % to keep from the start/end edge
offset	15	Number	The distance in mm to offset from the line from start to end
grainline	false	Boolean	Whether this cutonfold indicator is also the grainline

It's safe to use a corner of your pattern part for this

Since this is typically used on corners, the generated cut-on-fold indicator will not go all the way to the to and from points.

Removing the cut on fold indicator

If you inherit a part with a cut on fold indicator and you'd like to remove it, you can do so by passing false to the macro:

macro('cutonfold', false)
