Changing a contour line in isolation mode

Hello, Do you know if we can change a line or curve or point in “isolation”? We need to change a contour line of the pattern without redoing the whole part because there are a lot of internal elements! Thanks for the tip if it exists

You can add additional points or curves into the seam allowance (main) path using the “Insert Node” tool.

insert_node@2x

Once you’ve added nodes you can rearrange the order in the path in the Workpiece tool dialog.

node

Here I show a node A_A1 that was added… where inserted nodes are always placed at the bottom of the list… if this node for ex: needs to be placed between point A and point A1 - in order to maintain the sequential clockwise order of the path nodes, you can either drag the node to the position you want, or use the up / dn arrows to move it.

If you need to add internal paths use the Internal Path tool to insert a path to a pattern piece.

path@2x

To my knowledge you currently can not insert new nodes (points & curves) into an internal path… of course that probably adds another item on the to do list.
