Introduction of Main Functional Modules
Graphic Design
Ø Select the
drop-down menu, toolbar and toolbox icon, and then the pattern can be easily
designed. Main graphic elements include the point, line, rectangle, Ellipse,
diamond, polygon, etc. Main functions include color change, array copy, linear
copy, multiple copy, mirror image copy, etc. Such operations as copy of circled
areas, color filling, rotation, expansion, deletion, cutting and pasting can be
conducted easily.
File Types
(1) KNI File
Ø This is the
pattern file of Raynen-Qili KnitCAD, and is generated automatically after being
saved. It can be open directly by double click. Apply to the sweater knitting
flat machine.
(2) 001 File
Ø This is the
machine file of the enhanced machine. The “*.001” file achieved by Raynen-Qili
KnitCAD compiltion.
(3) KNS File
Ø This is the
pattern file of the “Raynen Qili shoe design system”, and is generated
automatically after being saved. Apply to the knitting vamp design.
Ø Note: The “Raynen
Qili shoe design system” need to be encryption lock to open.
(4) RNS File
Ø This is the
shoe machine file. The “*.RNS” file achieved by “Raynen Qili shoe design
system”compiltion. And the machine control system need to support the “*.RNS” file.
(5) CNT, PAT, PRM, SET and YAR Files
Ø
These files are the knitting files of the ordinary machine.
l CNT: Consisting of knitting parameters of the machine. Therefore,
it must be imported before knitting.
l PAT: Consisting of needle action information, the needle will act
according to it. Therefore, it must be imported before machine running.
l PRM:
Consisting of pattern cycle information, it must be imported before machine
running.
l
SET: Pattern expansion file.
l YAR: Consisting of the information of the yarn carrier, such as
corresponding No. and knitting range of the yarn carrier.
Knitting specification input and Shape
The
user can use the Shape function in the software, and the required pattern
can be generated automatically by entering parameters of the specification.
Compiler
Ø The system
can automatically generate the 001 (or RNS) file required by the control system
of the machine according to the information of the KNI (or KNS) file. In case
of the KNI (or KNS) information is incomplete or ambiguous, error prompts will
be generated, and the corresponding pattern row numbers and causes will be
indicated. Meanwhile, the compiler can automatically detect collision of the
needles of front and rear beds.
Ø The
compiler has the powerful automatic processing functions, such as automatic yarn kicking, pleating, floating yarn
treatment, etc.
Ø After
compilation, the results of compilation can be viewed via the PAT Editor and De-compiler.
