Chapter 11: Patterns

This section will illustrate the tools and mechanisms for placing and working with patterns.

Placing Patterns

A pattern is a three-dimensional piece of artwork. Patterns may be selected from the included library of patterns,

new libraries which are purchased, or imported from picture les in several standard formats (see Import).

Patterns may be placed on the board, moved, sized, rotated, and merged together in various ways.

Figure 11�2� Pattern List Icon

The ‘Pattern List’ (Figure 11.4) is accessed by selection the ‘Pattern Tool’ icon from the ‘Carving’ menu or the

Carving toolbar. The pattern library may take a couple of seconds to open the rst time it is accessed. The

more pattern libraries or the larger any pattern library is, the longer it will take to load the pattern list. The

‘Pattern List’ shows the library of patterns available. The ‘Basic’ and ‘Favorites’ pattern collections are the only

available pattern collections when the software is rst installed. Initially, there are no patterns in the ‘Favorites’

pattern collection. The ‘Favorites’ collection allows for the sorting of favorite patterns to enable faster access.

The + sign next to a category will expand to show the sub-categories or patterns of the selected pattern

collection. Click on a pattern and a three-dimensional view of the pattern image will appear in the viewing area

beneath the list. The Pattern Preview Window view may be rotated and zoomed with the same mouse controls

used for manipulating a board (see Using the Mouse). More information on the Pattern List is in the next

chapter.
