Once you have added a dart to a garment, you can make it a round dart.

To make a round dart:

  1. Go to the Context View.

  2. In the Dart Properties section, select Round Dart.

    Icons for symmetrical and directional handles are displayed.

    By default, symmetrical handles are enabled.

  3. Use symmetrical handles to shape the dart legs into a curve from the apex. When you move one leg handle, the other leg handle moves so that the sides of the curve are symmetrical (one is the mirror image of the other).

  4. To enable directional handles, click

    .

  5. Use directional handles to move the dart legs in the same direction from the apex. When you move one of the leg handles, the other leg handle moves so the legs curve in the same direction.

The following image shows the effect of adding symmetrical handles to a dart.
