Rotate part

 

Pattern editor option to change the layout of a part in a pattern

 

When editing pattern it is sometimes useful to rotate the part to fit into a different layout. At the pattern editor screen:-

 

 Select the part

or

 Select: Edit - Rotate

 

Each selected part is rotated by 90 degrees.

The section of the pattern where the part is located (for example, in a strip) is automatically adjusted to take account of the rotation. If a part does not fit or cannot be rotated because of the grain settings the rotate is cancelled.

 

 

Notes

 

- Parts cannot be rotated on template patterns in the Pattern library
