Create parallel to contour

To create a parallel to the contour, access the Garment mode, and click on the Create a parallel to the contour button.
Following the creation steps, the parallel is automatically placed at a 1-cm distance relative to the piece contour.
Once the contour(s) is/are created, you can edit its/their properties from the Context options menu.

The editable parameters are:

Offset on 1st end – here you can set the offset of the parallel’s first end relative to the contour;
Offset on 2nd end – here you can set the offset of the parallel’s second end relative to the contour;
Use same value – this option allows you to feed the offset value in both fields;
Rotation angle – the angle by which the element can be rotated relative to its initial position;
Rotation center – automatically positioned halfway (50%) along the line created; can be subsequently edited.
Intersection points – allows you to create main points there where the parallel to the contour intersects the pattern’s contour.
Cut – you can cut the pattern with the parallel to the contour by clicking on the Cut button.
The Show on symmetrical option can be checked. If a symmetry axis is declared, when the piece is symmetrized, the parallel to the contour will be displayed on the symmetrical side, as well.

Translated contour and Parallel to the contour – differences
The translated contour and the parallel to the contour are two different elements.
The translated contour is the result of moving the contour segment at a given distance and, then, rotating it by the required angle.
In the straight areas, it will be relatively parallel to the piece’s contour, while, in the curve areas, the distance to the piece contour can no longer be maintained.
To obtain an internal line that should be perfectly parallel to the piece contour, must be used the parallel to the contour.
