Dart manipulation rotates a dart around the bust point to a different position. The amount of width it removes stays the same, only its location changes.
The rotation itself happens in a vector program or in pattern CAD. What a digitized block gives you is the starting point: several variations from one base, without cutting the paper apart again.

Digitize sewing patterns without tracing.
