plugin-dimension

A freesewing plugin to add dimensions to your (paperless) patterns.

Install

Install this plugin from NPM:

npm install @freesewing/plugins-dimension --save

Loading the plugin

To load this plugin, add it to your instantiated pattern:

import pattern from '@freesewing/pattern-brian'
import theme from '@freesewing/plugin-theme'
import dimension from '@freesewing/plugin-dimension'

pattern.with(theme).with(dimension);

You now have the following macros available:

Name	Description
hd	Adds a horizontal dimension
vd	Adds a vertical dimension
ld	Adds a linear dimension
pd	Adds a dimension that follows a path

You can use them as such:

macro('<name>', {<options>});

Parameters

As all freesewing plugins, all options needs to be passed as a single object.

hd

part.macro('hd', {
  from: points.cbNeck
, to: points.cbHips,
  y: points.cbHips + 15
});

• from : A point object
• to : A point object
• y : The y-value at which to place the dimension

vd

part.macro('vd', {
  from: points.cbNeck
, to: points.cbHips,
  x: points.cbHips + 15
});

• from : A point object
• to : A point object
• x : The x-value at which to place the dimension

As all freesewing macros, bundle these parameters into a single object.

ld

part.macro('ld', {
  from: points.cbNeck
, to: points.cbHips,
  d: 15
});

• from : A point object
• to : A point object
• d : The distance by which to offset the dimension from the line between from and to

As all freesewing macros, bundle these parameters into a single object.

pd

part.macro('pd', {
  path: new path().move(points.cbNeck).curve(points.cbNeckCp1, points.cbNeckCp2,  points.cbHips),
  d: 15
});

• path : A path object
• d : The distance by which to offset the dimension from the path

As all freesewing macros, bundle these parameters into a single object.

Example

Below is an example of different dimensions.
