I'm trying to trace pieces from scans of my paper patterns. It would be helpful if I could change the transparency of the pieces in the 2d window so I can see the image I have beneath them. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi Monica,
     
    Thank you for reaching out. Happy to answer your questions. 

    1. You cannot make the pattern pieces transparent in the 2D window. I suggest possibly tracing them in Adobe Illustrator before opening them in VStitcher if visibility is an issue you are having while tracing. Below is a post from our community forum that may help walk you through that process.

    2.  Vstitcher is using grade increments you have entered to grade the pattern. If there are areas that need to be graded more or less. you will need to adjust your grading to reflect that. 
    You can make edits only to the base size so if changing the grading is not the issue, but pattern shaping is, you can change the other size to be the base size and make your updates:
     

     
    However, any changes made will still affect the other sizes so I suggest making the changes you need and exporting each one out as a separate pattern. 
     
    3. The sizing and grading workspace turns off all textures to help with visibility when grading. It is not possible to keep them on.
     
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.
     
    Thanks,
    Afsha
