Shape Parameter
Permissible symbols are as follows:
AN=Beginning width in needles
KL=Border left Ex.: 10x4x0, 4(1x3x2,1x3x1), 8x1x-1;
KR=Border right
VL=V-neck left
VR=V-neck right
- PF=0; Shape only
- PF=1;: With symbols for decreasing
- PF=2;: With symbols for increasing
STRV=101;Start V-neck in Line 101;
KCM=10;Width of shape selvedge
KCV=10;Width of shape selvedge at V-neck
KCMR=10;Width of shape selvedge on right side
KCVR=10;Width of shape selvedge at V-neck on right side
NS=[n];Colour for no-knit-function
(use in combination with PF=2 )
USEYC=[2];Colour in Ctrl-YC-Level Column 1;
PL1=[aabaa];If [a] and [b] different functions.
PL2=[abc,ddd];Narrow with two phases
ERROR=[a];repaint cutted structures from Structure-Level in Sahpe-level with color
Global Shape functions
Protect and Read Shape level
- DEFLEVEL=0;Shape-editor always analised (= not defined)
- DEFLEVEL=1;Use the shape and define only the functions;
- DEFLEVEL=2;Don't change the shape level;
- DEFLEVEL=3;Create Shape definition from Shape-Level;
Bring Yarncarrier inside, for machine using comb, during RIB-Setup
Activate Stitch presser in machine parameter set
Execute with Shape processing
- RIBSETUP=1;1= Setup1 2= Setup2 Shima different variations for comb-Setup
- RIBSETUP=1,20;optional width of knitting comb-yarn 2.0";
- RIBSETUP=1,20,10;optional YC move offset 1.0";
- RIBSETUP=1,20,10,3; YC-in: knit 3 stitches;
-
Doubling the rib for fine gauge machine automatically
Execute with Shape processing
- RIBDUPL=0; Delete existing Ribdoubling
- RIBDUPL=40; on both sides add 40 needles for rib;
- RIBDUPL=40,30;add left side 40 needles, right side 30 needles;
-
Link colors with knitting functions for using with RIBDUBL
- FS=[a]; link with "Transfer to front knit front"-function
- BS=[5]; link with "Transfer to rear knit rear"-function
- NS=[n]; link with "no knit"-function
Use Doubling like narrowing in shapedefinition
Execute with Shape processing
- PLX=[/]; Symbol for doubling left side
- PRX=[\]; Symbol for doubling right side
- PLM=[\]; Symbol for doubling V-neck left side
- PRM=[/]; Symbol for doubling V-neck right side
- DUBL=0, [/\]; Show doubling with symbols comressed; Colors working transparent like [g]
- DUBL=1, [/\]; Create shape with doubling expanded; FS=[];BS=[];NS=[]; definition needed
-
Expand shape and create for narrowing separate rows only with transfer
Execute with Shape processing
Helpful in combination with Jacquard-functions
- TRANNOKNIT=0; compress levels after expansion
- TRANNOKNIT=1; expand levels; Insert always 2 rows for narrowing; Fill rows with NS=[] Definition
For KL,KR,VL,VR following assignment's are usefull:
If the left and right border are equal, the definition for the left border is enough.
- 10 x4 x 0 :6L1[.] , **
- 4( 1 x3 x 2 x10 :6(80[U]),***
- 1 x3 x 1 x10),
- 6 x4 x-2 x10[abc,ddd],
- 8 x1 x-1 x10;
- | | | | | > use Function only here
- | | | | > width of diminish (if you need)
- | | | > diminish or enlarge
- | | | -1 => go to the middle
- | | | +1 => away from the middle
- | | > the height from a Rapport of diminish
- | > Repetition
- > Repetition for a combination of rapports
** : Paint in other Levels ;
- 6 means Ctrl_YC Level;
- L means left Control Columns Left;
- 1 means Column 1;
- [.] paint Symbol
*** : Paint in other Levels inside the shape;
- 6 means Ctrl_YC Level;
- (80[U]) paint Symbols
Define Parts and Sizes
Following is necessary if using "Work with Shape" (Shape description);
- SIZEGRID=Gr:46,Gr:48,Gr:50; Describe Sizes also S,M,L
- SIZE=Gr:50; Used size in Shape Editor
- &VT; Beginning shape definition Front Part
- &RT; Beginning shape definition Rear Part
- &AEL; Beginning shape definition Sleeve left Part
- &AER; Beginning shape definition Sleeve right Part
-
knitting functions for Shaping
The processing of the shape need the connection to the Colors of the knitting functions in Function Set.
In Functions-Set use following Symbols:
- ,PL,Narrowing function left
- ,PL1,Narrowing at one needle
- ,PL2,Narrowing at two needles
- ,PL3,Narrowing at three needles
- ,PLX,Narrowing at X-needles (filled up automatically)
- ,PR,Narrowing function right
- ...
- ,PLM,Narrowing function V-neck left side
- ...
- ,PRM,Narrowing function V-neck right side
- ...
- ,CM,Cut out shape selvedge with colour (function)
- ,CV,Cut out V-selvedge with colour (function)
- ,CMR,Cut out shape selvedge with colour (function) on right side
- ,CVR,Cut out V-selvedge with colour (function) on right side
Reserved Colors
[y] outside shape
- The color [y] in the shape level defines areas that are not used for knitting
- yarncarrier stops in this areas
[N] Mark Blind-Fields
- The color [N] in the shape level defines areas that are not used for knitting
- The fields beside have no intarsia-link
- In-Pos and Home-Pos YC-Functions are working in the blind-fields
[g] transparent in shape
- The color [g] in the shape level defines areas where functions from structur-level are working
