Shrinkage Manager

Tools > Shrinkage Manager

Add automatic shrinkage to all plates with profiles or seams.

Select Yes or No in the confirmation window that appears. If you select Yes, shrinkage is added.

Prerequisite: Before automatic shrinkage compensation can be applied, the following files must be added to the shrinkage subfolder in the project's norms folder: profile.cmd, shellframe.cmd, cutout.cmd, seam.cmd and plate.cmd.

Note: Applying automatic shrinkage compensation overwrites the previously added shrinkage compensation marks.

Important: It is not possible to remove the automatically applied shrinkage compensation attributes manually. The only way to remove these attributes from the database is to use the add='delete' variable in the plate.cmd file, and run the Shrinkage Manager again.
