The control bar contains a fixed area and an individual area (replaces Tool-box). The functions of the individual area can be selected via the configuration settings.

The fixed area includes the functions:

- Construction record

- List of interactive constructions

- Test run/grading active part

- Test run/grading all parts

- Temporary measurement

- Stack

- X, Z values

- Size list

- Manage measurement charts

Individual area (delivery):

- New

- Save

- Close

- Plot

- Part list

- Library

- Visibility

The three application areas construction , manufacture and interface controls the display of the toolbar. Depending on which area is selected, different tools are available. Switching between the areas is possible at any time. Some tools are assigned to more than one area.

The construction area contains tools for style development.

In the manufacture area, you can find tools for the completion of production parts.

The interface area contains functions for the transfer of the style and for import of data into GRAFIS.

The display of the toolbar varies according to the application area. Here, you can find all tools for style construction, processing of production pattern and transfer of the parts.

Further functions are available in the context bar, they vary from tool to tool. These functions usually related to the active tool or an active basic block.

The parts of the style are managed in the part organisation. Here, the structure of the style is determined and the dependencies are displayed.

The part organisation consists of the part rack and the part list with menu, preview and part information.

Information on part organisation can be found here.

The button is active if the selected part is a mother part. Clicking on the button displays information about the mother part, part number, part name and size on the left. The display varies according to the cursor position. If the cursor points to an empty area, the part number, part name and the base size of the active part are displayed. The area for zooming is located on the right, The pin is used to fix the set zoom value. The zoom value can be entered as a decimal number, but also with 1:xxx and xxx:1 in the edit field or selected in the combo box.

No more stressing about positioning the photo corners. The preview images in the list of interactive constructions are now vector-based and the pick points, base direction and line removal are also clearly visible. You can also decide to renew individual picks only.

• more detailed information: preview/ /text
• Reset single picks
  • also for deleted objects in the mother part
  • except for basic constructions
• Multiple selection possible for rest picks with <CTRL>+<SHIFT>.

For more information, see the list of interactive constructions

The library replaces the 'old' call list. The library is a dockthat can remain open while working. It can be opened by clicking in Control bar or on View→Library or CTRL + H .

All basic constructions available in the selected shoe system can be accessed in the dock library . Under General, you can find constructions which can be called in a number of measurement systems. The order of the basic constructions has been changed and some of the descriptions have been added. A preview image is displayed when a basic block is selected. Call up the desired construction by double-clicking. It is now possible to hide and show the mirrored basic blocks directly in the library. Often used basic blocks can be marked with a favourite star and displayed with the favourite filter. At the top of the library there is a search input field for the specific search for a basic block. Editing the library is still possible.

Menu

	Edit the library (opens the old call list)
	show/hide mirrored basic blocks
	show favourites

In the dock visibility, the visibility of various objects, attributes, logos and sizes can be controlled. Hiding is only temporary. Nothing is deleted.

objects
	all objects visible, all objects invisible
Sizes
	all objects visible, all objects invisible
	invert
	test run

The dock can always remain open and be docked together with the library to save space.

When the dock is pulled up in width, the view becomes two columns.

There are a greater or smaller number of options available for each construction. The options can be adjusted via the Options dock.

For a better overview, the options are divided into categories. Each category can be expanded via . When opened , all options of the respective category are visible. The two buttons at the top of the dock expand or close the options for all categories.

All option screens have been renewed and present themselves in a tripartite arrangement. In the left bar, the dots show the number of options and which option is active. In the middle, the option is shown in a picture. Additional information is displayed in the right bar. Clicking on the option image activates the option. The option is switched by scrolling on the option screen or selecting the green corner and choosing the desired option. The alteration of an option is immediately applied to the construction behind.

Each construction has one or more drag areas (short areas) which can be switched in the areas dock. The drag areas were introduced to give greater control so that not too many points can be altered at the same time. After having activated an interactive construction the first drag area is active. It is highlighted with a green bar in the areas dock.

The dock values contains the X-values for the active drag point.

All break sizes activated in the active drag area are displayed and can be adjusted .

The left button enables dragging individual sizes. Alterations to one size do not apply to other sizes. The grading increments are changed.

The right button enables simultaneous alteration of the sizes of a figure type. Alterations are automatically transferred to all sizes of the respective figure type. The grading increments remain unchanged.

The button enables simultaneous alteration of all break sizes. Alterations are automatically transferred to all break sizes. The grading increments remain unchanged.

Selected drag points can be linked with x, xg, z or g values. In this case, an additional entry option appears. If an X, XG, Z or G value is entered there, the drag point is linked to this value and can no longer be changed. In this case, the buttons are not visible. Removing the entry releases the connection.

The other elements of the values dock have the following significance:

	This drag point adjusts a single x value.
	This drag point adjusts two x values, for example the x and y co-ordinate of this freely moveable point. The settings for one x value respectively are visible.
	Show all sizes
	Hide all sizes apart from the active size.
	Base size of the construction
	This size is hidden. Clicking the box before the size renders is visible again,
	The size is visible. Clicking the check mark hides the size.

In the dock break sizes, the break sizes for the active drag area can be selected. Switching to another area can be done directly by clicking on the drag area at the top of the dock. This means that break sizes for different drag areas can now be selected more quickly. The dock break sizes gives a quick overview of all selected break sizes in the different drag areas.

You can find more information about break sizes here.

Save and load shape

The settings of an interactive construction are saved in the corresponding x value list. This list is invisible for the user. It is updated automatically by Grafis. Clicking on save shape or pressing <STRG>+<SHIFT>+<S> saves this x value list together with a preview, the notes and measures.

The name of the shape consists of the date, the time, the computer name and the user name. They are saved as individual xwf files under \Grafis\Forms\[Name of the construction].

The shapes dock offers all xwf files saved under \Grafis\Forms\[Name of the construction]. The selected shape is loaded via double-click. Clicking on a shape with the right mouse button opens the context menu with the functions new folder, copy, cut, rename and delete.

You can now also mark shapes that you use often with a favourite and filter them with the favourites filter.

Shapes can be loaded for other break sizes or into styles of other measurement systems; you may have to re-assign the break sizes to the shape.

ID measurements which have been set with dimensions and comments are also saved with the shape. The entry window for comments is opened by clicking on notes .

With the help of Studio, the new window management system, the positions, sizes and status of the individual windows are saved. In Studio, various profiles can be saved. This enables flexible switching between desktop PC and laptop, for example Studio - Window management.

The function Inherit ( previously Insert) has been unified. Existing styles can be converted to the new variant.

• inherit basic block

• inherit objects
• inherit for modules
  • Inherit and link

When inheriting, screenshots are no longer taken.

For further explanations see Inherit.

In all functions that allow selection in the frame, the frame is now dragged over the selection with the pressed .

Delete in frame deletes all objects that are completely in the frame. All touched objects remain intact.

When inheriting in the frame, the touched objects are also inherited.

The point construction menu is now a dock that can be docked to the edges of the workspace and other docks. It can be switched from vertical to horizontal orientation.

The free mode is now switched automatically when the <Shift> key is pressed

When using intersection, the line that is clicked first automatically becomes the displacement line.

On the tool buttons, a small triangle indicates whether there are several variants for this tool. The last variant used is displayed in the toolbar and can be selected with the .

To select another variant, click on the button with the . and select the desired variant from the list.

The tools Line 10, Line 20 and the previously non-interactive line types have been combined into one universal line.

General step-by-step guide

• Select tool from the Toolbar.

• Activate / deactivate autostart and cyclic in the context bar .

• assign values if required
• if autostart active: adjust construction interactively
• if cyclic active: execute construction again

cutting line

The function cutting line is only active for the type line with direction . Having selected the cutting line, the new line does not have a given length; it is extended to or cut off at the cutting line. Clicking on switches to the mode for selection of the cutting line. A set cutting line can be deselected in this mode.

For more information see lines.

Circle 10 and Circle 20 and Rectangle 10 and Rectangle 20 were combined into Circle and into Rectangle. The circle and the rectangle can be called up in different variations. Switching to another variant is possible at any time in the interactive menu.

For more information, see Circle and Rectangle.

All previous point functions have been combined into one interactive point.

The point can also be constructed as a perpendicular point on a displacement line.

For further information see points.

Parallel 10 , Parallel 20 and the non-parallel have been combined into one parallel tool. Additional functions can be activated via options.

For more information see Parallels.

Separate and cut is one of the tools that are not yet interactive. The different functions can be selected directly in the toolbar, but are also available for selection in the context bar

Pick pictures, coloured markings of the objects and preview objects were added for a better understanding of the functions.

For more information, see Separate.

With the cut out tool, one or more line section are cut from a contour line. This occurs in the intersection of the contour line with line pairs for separate and cut respectively. Typical application is following the tool relocate dart , when dart hoods are to be generated subsequently. The active switch between separate and cut is omitted.

• Select tool from the Toolbar.
• In the context bar cyclic activate / deactivate
• Select a contour line for cutting out with respect to the right principle For certain construction processes, it is necessary to define what is the start and the end of a line. The line receives a direction. Grafis supports the user with the so-called "right principle cursor" which additionally has a direction indicator.
• Select separation line
• Select cutting line
• if required, select further separation and cutting lines

For more information, see Cut out.

For more information, see Link simply.

The start and end points can be reset.

For further information see Link

Each line object has an internal direction. With this function, the direction of a line is altered. This function is usually required only after corrections in mother parts.

Line directions are relevant for example for creating parallels and for measuring partial lengths, relative lengths and directions in relation to the line.

• Select tool from the Toolbar.

• click line for which the direction is to be inverted
• Quit the function with exit or right-click

A preview of the current line direction appears as soon as the cursor is positioned near the respective line.

The line direction is also displayed outside a function when pressing the <STRG> key and touching the line.

For more information, see change line direction.

The previous lengthen by and lengthen to have been replaced by the interactive lengthen.

lengthen to and lengthen by

With this tool, one or more lines are shortened or lengthened by a defined amount. Depending on the option, the alterations apply to all lines or each line individually. The click direction of the line determines where the adjustment takes place,

• select tool from the Toolbar.
• Activate / deactivate autostart and cyclic in the context bar .
• Pre-set values if necessary
• Select up to 20 lines to be extended, taking into account the right principle.
• Deposit line with right-click
• if required, adjust interactively

Displacement with value specification requires the entry of a displacement value in X-direction (DX) and Y-direction (DY). This value entry can be entered in predefined values in the context bar.

move from point to point

move with direction

See Move.

rotate from point to point

rotate with direction

rotate with angle

This tool rotates objects by a pre-set angle. The angle is stated in degrees and is identical in all sizes - as long as no break size-dependent adjustments have been made.

See Rotate.

With these tools, the objects are moved and rotated in one operation. These functions are especially useful for relocating yokes or relocating the shoulder seam.

rotate and move from point to point

rotate and move with direction

See Rotate and move.

Hook in

With this function, an object is hooked into another part; in the process, it is reduced or increased proportionally in correspondence with the clicked points. The hooked in object is graded proportionally to the part into which is was hooked.

See Hock.

Mirror from point to point

Mirror with direction

With the mirror tool, objects are mirrored at a mirror line.

The mirror line can be defined as a line from point to point or a line with direction . The mirrored objects can be copied and mirrored or just mirrored.

See Mirror.

The scale function increases or reduces objects in size in relation to absolute zero.

See Scale.

Under retransform , all transformation steps carried out on the active part are displayed and offered for repeat application. These include the transformation functions of move , rotate , rotate and slide , hock as well as mirror and scale.

See Retransformation.

Spread with line

This tool spread with lines is used when one or more spread lines have already been created. The number of spread lines cannot be changed subsequently.

Spread from point to point

Spread with direction

The tools spread from point to point and spread with direction are used if no spread lines have been created yet. They are based on a line construction analogous to line from point to point and line with direction . A type switch can be carried out subsequently at any time via the context bar in the interactive environment. The number of spread lines cannot be altered subsequently.

See Spread.

drape and shape from point to point

Drape and shape with direction

Drape and shape always requires a closed contour between the two base lines. The number of spread lines remains variable at any time.

The result of drape and shape is mostly commonly a completed product development. It already contains a number of individual development steps such as distribution of the spread lines, spreading itself, finalising of the contour with hood creation and shaping of the modelling curve.

Spreading and drape and shape can also be called in mother parts as the object structure remains existent.

Initially, two base lines are selected for drape and shape. These define the start and end of the spread lines later on. The spread area is determined via the first and last spread line. The number of interim spread lines can be adjusted interactively and thus, altered at any time. Drape and shape also offers the possibility of defining pleats or darts with relevant hood creation from within the tool.

See Drape and shape.

relocate dart

With this tool, an existing dart is relocated entirely or partially to one or more new positions.

shorten dart

With this function, one or more existing darts are shortened or lengthened along the centre axis by a given amount. The contour line remains unchanged.

Dart

This tool is used to construct darts. The edited line is pinched by the entered value. The tool replaces the previous tools Pinch 10 and Pinch 20.

Dart point to point

Dart with direction

The functions dart point to point and dart with direction start the same tool with different type preset. A type switch can be carried out subsequently at any time via the context bar in the interactive environment.

See Dart.

Dart hood

pleat hood

The dart/ pleat hood tool is suitable for continuous contour lines also between the dart legs and for gaps in the contour line.

A maximum of 10 hoods can be constructed with one call.

See Dart/pleat hood.

The interactive special tools Mirror and Move have been specially developed for detailing shoe uppers. As a rule, an outer last is designed first. Then, the visual appearance of the outer last is transferred to the inner last.

The shoemaker designs either in an open or closed fashion. In the open mode, the inner last is mirrored above the outer last py; in the closed mode, the inner last is not mirrored upwards.

To transfer the appearance of the outer last to the inner last the six tools available, Mirror simple, with or without alignment and mirror with hook in and Move simple, with or without alignment an Move with hook, are usually employed as follows.

	Closed fashion	Open fashion
Front of shoe	Tool Move simple	Tool Mirror simple
Rear of shoe	Tool Move with alignment	Tool Mirror with alignment
Quarter	Tool Move with hook in	Tool Mirror with alignment

These tools are called up via menu in work area construction

Transformation tools Mirror simple /Mirror with alignment and Move simple /Move with alignment

Tool Mirror with alignment andMove with hook in

The manufacturing corners have been splited into seam and hem corners.

The new universal corner enables you to switch to angle corner, mirror corner or cut corner at a later time. It is possible to hand in or detach the coordination of the corners.

The seam symbol can optionally be shortened or lengthened at the beginning and end in % or mm. (previously only % was possible)

The seam symbols can now be converted into simple lines.

See seam symbols.

The functions Attributes and Delete can be found in both workspaces construction and manufacture .

Indication of record steps, test run

The number of recorded construction steps is constantly displayed in the Control bar.

test run starts the processing of the construction protocol. It is also available in individual steps via record history .

	reset the construction record for the active part
	record counter
