Manage Size Charts

Before applying size grading to a pattern, a Size Chart must be created.

Create a new Size Chart

1. Open the project and make sure a pattern type is selected.

2. Go to Settings → Size Charts, then choose a Gender and a Pattern Type. This ensures that the size chart matches the intended model structure.

3. Click on New Size Chart button.

4. Assign a Name and fill the Size List, a comma separated list of size names (e.g., 42,44,46,48,50).

5. Choose the Sample Size from the drop down menu.

6. Click Create to finalize the new Size Chart.

Editing a Size Chart

Important: Editing a Size Chart will update it across all projects where it has been assigned.

1. Open the project and make sure a pattern type is selected.

2. Go to Settings → Size Charts, then choose a Gender and a Pattern Type.

3. Select the desired Size Chart.

4. You can now edit the Name, the Size List and the Sample Size.

5. Click Save to finalize.

How to duplicate a Size Chart for specific projects

If you need to make changes to a Size Chart for one or more specific projects, without affecting others that already use it, you must duplicate the original chart and assign it a new name.

This allows you to apply updates (such as different sizes or grading rules) without altering the original version.

To duplicate a Size Chart:

1. Select the Size Chart you want to duplicate.

2. Click Duplicate to open the summary window.

3. Enter the new name, define the size list, and set the sample size.

4. Click Save.

The new Size Chart will retain all grading rule values from the original.

• If you add sizes, the grading rules will be automatically applied to the new ones.

• If you remove sizes, their associated rules will be removed as well.

You can now assign this updated Size Chart to any project that requires the new configuration.

Delete a Size Chart

Important: This action will affect all projects where the selected Size Chart has been applied.

1. Go to Settings → Size Charts.

2. Select the appropriate Gender and Pattern Type to display the relevant size charts.

3. Choose the Size Chart you want to delete.

4. Click the Delete button.

Important: Matching Sample Sizes

If you assign a Size Chart with a sample size of 48, but the pattern was originally based on size 50, the pattern’s measurements will still reflect size 50 — even though it will now be labeled as size 48 in the chart.

To highlight this mismatch, the following message will appear in the Size Chart panel in the preview:

You are assigning a size chart with a sample size that is different from the anatomical size assigned to the pattern. Please check your settings.

This message is a reminder that while your pattern was created using size 50 as the anatomical base, it will now be associated with size 48 in the grading structure.

✅ Best practice

When developing a new pattern, always make sure that the Size Chart's sample size matches the anatomical base size used in the pattern.

If you're using a different naming convention or scale (e.g., S, M, L or 2, 3, 4 instead of 46, 48, 50), you will need to create a new set of grading rules to ensure consistency.
