View the Pattern

Now take a look at all the markings you’ve added. Save your macro and select the “Test Macro” icon from the Status bar.

When the dialog boxes appear, choose either neckline, but then be sure to choose the Long Sleeve option.  Accept the default measurements, and the pattern will appear on the screen.  Notice the seam allowance, the notch, and the text object.  Check if everything is correct.

Now, let’s test the Grouping feature.

Click the “Move” icon on the icon bar.

Left-click on the outline of the sleeve.  It will be highlighted.  (Notice how the text also gets highlighted.) Right-click to indicate that you’re finished selecting things.

Left-click on the outline of the sleeve again.  You are selecting a base point, or “handle” for the Move operation.

Move the mouse a bit to the right, then left-click again to “drop” the objects.  The sleeve, the seam allowance, and the text all remain together.

Close PatternMaker and do not save changes.
