Fold line

German:
Stoffbruch

The fold line is the edge along which the fabric is folded. A piece cut on the fold is only drawn as one half and comes out symmetrical when cut.

In the file

A piece on the fold exists as one half in the file too. Anyone who needs the full shape has to mirror it during further work, otherwise the second half is simply missing.
