- Instead of waiting for nesting to complete, stop directly at any point in time to place patterns to save nesting time.

The number of calculations varies depending on the number of patterns.Higher counts give optimal arrangement results,
but larger numbers of patterns require more calculations and take more time. Moving one space of the progress bar means that once the calculation has been completed.

Area Pattern Placed Check the pattern area placed on the fabric. Remnant Check the remaining area where no pattern is placed.

Comments
Does the new pattern arrange feature in the latest Clo release orient the pattern pieces according to the grain line. I assume you can put a grain line on a pattern piece.
Hi, yes, when you click Reset to Default Arrangement, it reflects the grainline.
To set the grainline of a pattern, please use the Edit Texture tool.

Hello Erica,
Why is the print layout disabled. I am using the latest update 5.0.202
Hi there, is it possible to change the size of my pattern print layout all together? It is set to a default of 1117.6 mm fabric width. How do I reduce that number to my desired custom width?
It's great to do Mak in CLO!
About grain set - it's 1 way and 2 way only in 6.2 version
Is it possible to add "1 garment in 1 way, but can accept 1 style in both 2 way?" - this is much close the actual production cutting way.
Looking forward to hear good news!
