Create and store templates for grain matching
A template is a fixed arrangement of parts (like a small pattern). Templates are created and stored in the Pattern Library. Whilst the arrangement of parts is fixed the actual part sizes are not. For example, a template for 3 drawer fronts in a vertical arrangement can deal with drawer fronts for any size.
The example below shows some typical templates:-
A blank 'board area' is shown.
Use the Add parts option to enter part sizes
● Enter the part size and the quantity in the length and width etc in the usual way
● Select OK to add the part to the pattern
The usual pattern editor options are available for creating and editing a pattern.
On save - enter a unique code for the pattern and select the type of pattern.
Type of pattern - use the pattern properties to set the type of pattern. Template patterns must follow some rules and there are several properties to set (see topics below)
