Dynamic Cloth Presets

The settings for a cloth panel or complete cloth item, can be saved as a Dynamic Cloth Preset. These presets can then be used by other Pro version users and Basic version users (who can't change the presets manually).

There are two types of dynamic cloth presets:

• Garment Dynamics Preset - This preset is specific to a cloth item and uses the garment's material zones to set the cloth properties. The settings are applied to all panels/material zones of the cloth item. It does not set surface properties (applying colors, textures, etc.).
• Fabric Dynamics Preset - This preset can be used on any cloth item to set a specific type of fabric, such as cotton, lycra, silk, etc. The settings are applied to the currently selected panels/material zones on the cloth item.

To save a garment preset:

1. Adjust the cloth settings on the Panel tab for all panels/material zones.
2. Choose File > Save As > Garment Dynamics Preset from the menu. A default save dialog will come up.
3. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the preset, enter a name in the filename field, select a file type of either plain text (.ds) or encrypted (.dsb), and click on Save.

To save a fabric preset:

1. Adjust the cloth settings on the Panel tab for any panel/material zone on the cloth item.
2. Make sure the modified panel is selected in the Surfaces tab or choose File > Save As > Fabric Dynamics Preset from the menu. A default save dialog will come up.
3. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the preset, enter a name in the filename field, select a file type of either plain text (.ds) or encrypted (.dsb), and click on Save.

To apply a garment preset:

1. Select the cloth item or any panel/material zone of the cloth item.
2. Double-click on the garment preset in the Content tab.

To apply a fabric preset:

1. Select the panel/material zone to apply the preset to. To select more than one material zone, use Ctrl+click in the Surfaces tab or in the Selection field of the Cloth Panel tab.
   
   TIP! Fabric presets are applied only to the currently selected panel/material zone. Select multiple zones to apply the preset to more than one zone at a time.
2. Double-click on the fabric preset in the Content tab.

NOTE! You cannot apply garment or fabric presets to stitches.
