Hey Legends
I have hundreds of sewing patterns i am transferring to CAD, Is there anyway to weld the notches in my patterns like the pattern on top? (pictured)
I know how to weld the 2 objects together using the belong weld tool if they are just shapes. (Rectangle and notch shape)
but i usually trace around the objects with the pen tool and then add the notch shape later and the weld tool doesnt work. (such a slow option using the node tool to break nodes etc)
Also are there any shortcuts to putting a rectangle exactly on the X/Y plane. as i usually use the measuring table to scale etc.
I’m not sure I fully understand your problem, but as I see it, I will select everything, deselect the big shape, group the little tips and use Boolean Assistant for the last operation.
Click one end of the baseline, then click-n-drag the other end until it’s lined up horizontally, release.
Selecting the Full Screen Line Cursor will make aligning the two ends much easier:
You can also use the Node Editor to snap a line to the X axis, with the rest of the shape following along:
The A (for “align”) command snaps the line to the nearest 45° angle, so the original line must be Pretty Close™ to horizontal for this to do what you want. If the pattern has an almost vertical line, however, you can snap that line to the Y axis with the same command.
