Operation

1. Select the tool/menu indicated in Location.

   → A Pattern is divided into two.
   
   
3. Click on the side where the pleats will be added.

   Pleats Type	Select the type of the pleats (Knife, Box, or Accordion).
   Specification	Number of Pleats	Decide the number of pleats.
   	Depth	Assign the depth of the pleats (the depth of folded pleats).
   	Interval	Set the interval between pleats when there are two or more pleats.
   	Create Notch	Select where to create Notch (Both, Start, or End).
   	Reverse Direction	Reverse the direction where the pleats will be added.
   Option	Assign fold angles to the fold lines.  Greater the difference between the angle of Outside Fold and Inside Fold, sharper the folds are.

   → The pleats are created on the Pattern.
   → If there is an Internal Line in the Pattern, it is also moved and rotated along with the Pattern. (ver 6.0)
   

※ Note: If the segment where pleats to be created is sewn to another Pattern, the pleats will be automatically sewn. If the segment is not sewn, use the Pleats Sewing tool to sew the pleats to the other Pattern.
