DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know… You can…?

You can merge individual pieces of a size run into a single graded nest?

This is a common occurrence when getting a DXF file from a vendor.

You have individual pattern pieces for your size run (example: XS, S, M, L, XL)

DID YOU KNOW?

First, we will need to setup our size list in the grading table. It’s very important the number of sizes here match the number of patterns in your desired size nest.

DID YOU KNOW?

Next, we will select the Graded Nest tool found under Grading -> Grade -> Graded Nest…

The status bar will ask you to select one size at a time based on the size table we setup in our grading window. It will always ask you to select the base size first.

DID YOU KNOW?

You can simply select inside the piece when the status bar asks you for a size (NOTE: you could receive an error message if your pieces do not have the same amount of grade points. You may need to delete/ change any extra points to non-grade points)

DID YOU KNOW?

Continue to follow the steps on the status bar until you have finished all the sizes.An additional piece will be created with grading applied to it.

DID YOU KNOW?

Optional- Restacking the gradeYou can restack the grading if you’re not pleased with the way your nest comes in. I have added a grade point at the center of the hem to do this. Select the point and then select “stack point” in your grading table.

From here you can clear the grading on your baseline by going to the Grading Menu -> Stack -> Remove Baseline Grading
