A _measurements set_ holds a set of measurements along with meta data.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the measurements -- which is the most important data in a set --
|
|
a FreeSewing measurements set also has the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- [Name](#name)
|
|
- [Notes](#notes)
|
|
- [Image](#img)
|
|
- [Units](#units)
|
|
- [Public](#public)
|
|
|
|
## Name
|
|
|
|
Every measurements set has a **name** attribute that is mandatory.\
|
|
In other words, you must give each of your measurements sets a name, but that
|
|
name can be anything you want.
|
|
|
|
Typically, people give names that describe the set, like:
|
|
|
|
- Myself, January 2024
|
|
- Tony with binder
|
|
- Jenny post augmentation
|
|
|
|
But you do you.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
Every measurements set has a **notes** attribute that is optional.\
|
|
The notes field allows you to add your notes to a measurements set.
|
|
This field supports markdown, so you can use rich formatting, or even embed images.
|
|
|
|

|
|
If you make your measurements set public, your notes will also be public.

### Image
|
|
|
|
Every measurements set has a **image** attribute that is optional.
|
|
|
|
A picture says more than a 1000 words, so if you have multiple measurements
|
|
sets, this can help you tell them apart.
|
|
|
|
So if you want, you can add an image to your measurements set. It's up to you.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
If you make your measurements set public, your image will also be public.

## Units
|
|
|
|
Every measurements set has a **units** attribute that controls what units will
|
|
be used to display measurements in the set.
|
|
|
|
While each FreeSewing user has a **units** setting in their account that
|
|
controls their overall preference between imperial or metric units, it is common
|
|
to also have measurements sets for different people, and those different people
|
|
might have other preferences.
|
|
|
|
That is why we allow you to set the units on each measurements set.
|
|
|
|
## Public
|
|
|
|
Every measurements set has a **public** attribute that controls whether or not
|
|
the measurements set is public.
|
|
|
|
By default, measurements sets are private and you are the only one who can use
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
But, you can choose to make your measurements set public which allows other
|
|
users to utilize the measurements in this set to generate or test their own
|
|
patterns.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
If you make your measurements set public, this applies to all data in the
|
|
measurements set. In other words, not only the measurements, but also the
|
|
name, notes, and picture will be visible to other users.
