Dart manipulation

Dart manipulation rotates the bust dart around the bust point into a different seam, for example from the waist into the side seam, the armhole or the shoulder seam. The width it removes stays the same, only its position changes.

In the file

PatternScan Pro does not move darts. That happens in pattern CAD or in a vector program, on the digitized block.
