III. Printing and Pattern Design

1. Printing Workflow

3.1.1 Automatic size grading for patterns

• Background: In the current software grading process, patterns change in size across sizes while maintaining fixed distances. Within the software, the fastest workflow is to align the bottom first, then input the Y-axis size difference of pattern grading into pattern position grading. However, users find this workflow overly tedious and inconvenient.
• Description:
  • New Option: Auto Grading Strategy,Select the reference ratio for pattern grading via the dropdown box.
    • Based on Piece Height (Default);
    • Based on Piece Height;
  • To apply auto grading, after selecting the grading mode, click the Apply button to execute grading application, with data displayed synchronously below;
    • Calculation Method: Patterns are scaled proportionally according to the width or height of pieces for all sizes;
    • Maximum Bounding Box of Piece: The minimum bounding box calculated from piece vertices;
    As shown in the figure, the pattern width and height are a and b; the piece width and height are A and B. If Piece Width-based is selected, the pattern width for each size = a * (the change ratio of edge A for each size) In the video,16.32/18.32=89.08%
    • After auto grading is applied, the equal-interval grading option is automatically disabled;

    • Color Stop Editing
  Color stop editing follows the same logic as the color stops in the popup. Refer to the [Gradient Color Bar] section below.；
• When the pattern is scaled, the gradient bar length scales proportionally；
  • 
• When the pattern is selected, the gradient color bar takes precedence if it overlaps with size controls.；

• The two ends of the color bar show the start and end colors of the gradient;
  • Default values：start color——HSB：0，0，80；end color——HSB：0，0，45；
  • Default angle: 90°；
• The gradient start and end points align with the top and bottom edges of the pattern；

      • Select an existing color stop and press Delete to remove it；or right-click to bring up the delete option；
      • Maximum number of additional gradient points: 10；
      • Select a color stop to open the color editing popup, where the color of the stop can be changed；
  • Gradient Angle
    • Gradients support Angle editing，Click the input field to enter an angle value；The angle control provides more intuitive adjustment for the rotation of the gradient axis；
    • The default angle is 90° (vertical direction), and the rotation center is the bounding box center of the pattern；
