Bust point

German:
Brustpunkt

The bust point is the most prominent point of the bust. It is the pivot every dart is rotated around.

In the file

It is a point, not a line, and it sits inside the piece. PatternScan Pro captures the outline, so the bust point is not in the file by itself. Add it in the vector program or in pattern CAD where the darts are worked on.
