Grading

German:
Gradierung

Grading means converting a pattern from one size into other sizes. The measurements do not grow evenly, they follow fixed increments per body area.

In the file

Grading happens in pattern CAD such as Grafis. PatternScan Pro does not grade. It produces the digital base those tools start from.
