Grade Points

To grade a garment, you use the grade points on the base size. The outline of the pattern pieces for the other sizes are plotted by reference to those base size grade points.

• Grade points on the base size are colored white.

  

• By default, all corner points (squares) on the base size are grade points.

• You can configure other points (circles) on the base size to be grade points. For more information, refer to Configuring Points as Grade Points.

• You can only select grade points on the base size.
