Attachment Details

In this section, you can assign how each panel attaches to each other or to the awning frame.

On the left side, you will see a list of material edges. As you mouse over each edge, it will light up where it is on the awning display.

Click on an edge to see the available attachment options. Select the option you want to use.

If you just need to add a specified amount of fabric, use Allowance. This creates a return seam specified by entering a value in Allowance Attachment Length.

Lace On 2 uses a separate fabric strip. You will need to tell Eclipse the width for that strip by entering a value in Lace On 2 Strip Width.

**NOTE** Make sure you choose attachment details for each edge in the list.

Attachment Settings

Click on the Attachment Settings bar to open an expandable definitions section. Here you can see a diagram explaining each attachment style. Select the style you want defined. The details will be shown below. It is helpful to think of attachments as a series of commands that add foldovers, plot/crease lines, extensions, and seam allowances to the edges of the computed awning panels.

The different types of commands are listened below:

Foldline	A foldover of any distance.
Terminate	Any distance to the finished edge, usually a seam allowance.

When you click on any command, you can edit its properties including the tool type for the element that will be created. Allowable tool types are Plot, Crease, and Reference.

You will also see a graphical representation of the command. The green dot represents the visible edge of a panel. Mouse over Legend to see an explanation of each symbol.

You can save Attachment Settings using the button in the lower right corner. If the indicator is Yellow it means that the values have been changed from the most recently saved settings. Clicking the Restore button at this point will restore the Factory Settings. Clicking clicking the indicator will save the current settings and turn the indicator Green. The Restore button will still restore Factory Settings. Making changes at this point will turn the indicator Yellow again. At this point, clicking the Restore button will restore the previous user settings. Alt+Restore will restore the Factory Settings. If you hover over either of these buttons you will see a tool tip that explains the result of a click in the current state.
