Patterns

The Patterns section is the same for all of the Tabs.

Generate Patterns

Generate Patterns will generate the patterns with the applied controls into a new PatternSmith project.

Done

Accepts all changes and returns to the Project Window with the templated patterns. All controls will be retained.

Cancel

Cancels all changes and returns to the Project Window with the original pattern.

Apply Variables

Views how the patterns would look like when the variables are applied.

Selector

When Selector is selected, you can select and modify patterns and controls. When you select a pattern, you’ll see all of its Template Points light up. After you have selected a pattern, you can click on any existing control to select it. Then you can delete it by pressing the delete key, or edit its parameters in the Tool Window. You can select multiple patterns by dragging a marquee around them.

Measure

Measure will measure the distance between two points, or the angle at any corner. Snapping to Template Points is automatic.
