I was making a bodice with a raglan sleeve
I used the union tool to join the front yoke and sleeve and it worked fine, but when I used same tool to join the back yoke to the sleeve, this happened
Now I can’t open the file
Can anyone help please Yeabsira pattern.val (94.5 KB)
The move tool is one of the reasons that I put all the pattern pieces on the same draft board. You won’t be able to move the shoulder part from the bodice to the sleeve part, since they’re on seperate boards.
No. "Draft blocks " (formerly called pattern pieces) in draft mode can not be merged. “Pattern Pieces” - (formerly called details) can be merged (sort of) in Piece mode via the Union tool.
What Grace is describing is doing all your drafting in one draft block so that you can use the move tool to move (and rotate) points and curves within that block. In other words you can accomplish what the Union tool does by using the Move and Rotate tools… without encountering some of the issues the Union tool apparently still has. Not to mention, the Union tool will not mirror a Piece, so for example you can’t Join a facing to the center front of a bodice without it being upside down.
