Using the Increment Tool

You can manually grade all sizes simultaneously, by a fixed amount, using the Increment tool.

To use the Increment tool:

1. If it is not already open, open the Sizes and Grading pane.

2. In Set Increment, type in the value you want for the increment

   

3. In the 2D window, select one or more grading points.

4. Click the appropriate arrow to adjust the grade points as required:

   • Up arrow:

     • For sizes larger than the base size, moves the grade point upwards by the amount of the increment

     • For sizes smaller than the base size, moves the grade point downwards by the amount of the increment

     The following images show the effect of using the up arrow with a 1 cm increment.

   • Down arrow:

     • For sizes larger than the base size, moves the grade point downwards by the amount of the increment

     • For sizes smaller than the base size, moves the grade point upwards by the amount of the increment

     The following images show the effect of using the down arrow with a 1 cm increment.

   • Right arrow:

     • For sizes larger than the base size, moves the grade point to the right by the amount of the increment

     • For sizes smaller than the base size, moves the grade point to the left by the amount of the increment

     The following images show the effect of using the right arrow with a 1 cm increment.

   • Left arrow:

     • For sizes larger than the base size, moves the grade point to the left by the amount of the increment

     • For sizes smaller than the base size, moves the grade point to the right by the amount of the increment

     The following images show the effect of using the left arrow with a 1 cm increment.

   • In all cases, the base size grade point does not move.

   • The Incremental and Relative to Base data in the Sizes and Grading pane is automatically updated.
