  - Draw a parallel line (hip) 18cm from the waist line.
    * Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} , select waist line, select{{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-parallel_line.png|parallel_line}} . Click inside the rectangle. Enter 18cm in the dialog box. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-002.jpg|image}} 
  - Draw the waist point on the side seam: 
    * Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-point.png|tool-point}}, hold down **Option** (Mac) or **Alt** (Windows), click Point A (B). Enter value “0.5cm”, click “OK”.
  - Draw the point 0.5cm down from the center line: select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} , select center back line, select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool001.png|tool001}} , click point “C”, enter the value “0.5”cm, click “OK”.Connect the points as picture shows: select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-curve.png|tool-curve}}, left click point 1,2,3 point that the arrows pointed, to draw out the front/back wait line. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-003.jpg|image}}
    * Select waist line in front piece, change length value to 21.4cm; select waist line in back piece, change length value to 19.4cm. After modifying length, connect side seam.Use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select front waist line, select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment_length.png|tool-segment-length}} , left click point “A” on the selected line, the dialog box appears, enter the value “21.4cm” in the “New Length” column, click “OK”. Use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select back waist line, select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment_length.png|tool-segment-length}} , left click point “B” on the selected line, the dialog box appears, enter the value “19.4cm” in the “New Length” column, click “OK”. Connect the points as picture shows: select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-curve.png|tool-curve}}, left click point 1,2,3 point that the arrows pointed, to draw out the side seam.{{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-004.jpg|image}}
   - Draw the segment where the dart is located in the piece.
    * The dart value in front piece is 21.4 - 19 = 2.4cm Front piece: use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select waist line, Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-divide-segment.png|tool-divide-segment}} to divide it into two parts. Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment.png|tool-segment}}, hold down **Option** (Mac) or **Alt** (Windows),    - draw a segment as dart center from Point A. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-005.jpg|image}} 
    * The dart value in back piece is (19.4 - 15)/ 2 = 2.2cm Back piece: use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select waist line, add a point 7＋2.2 (dart value) / 2＝8.1cm from the center line: Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment.png|tool-segment}}, hold down **Option** (Mac) or **Alt** (Windows), left click the start point, enter the value “8.1cm” in the appearing dialog box, click “OK”. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-006.jpg|image}} Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-divide-segment.png|tool-divide-segment}} to divide it into two parts. Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment.png|tool-segment}}, draw a line as dart center line from Point B. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-007.jpg|image}} 
  - Add 1.5 cm length to the hem. Connect side seam and the hem.
    * Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-point.png|tool-point}} , hold down **Option** (Mac) or **Alt** (Windows), left-click Point A (B). Enter value. Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment.png|tool-segment}} , left click two points one by one that the red arrow pointed to create side seam.Use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to slect segment “a”, select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-divide-segment.png|tool-divide-segment}} , click the selected segment, enter the value “3” in the appearing dialog box, to devide the segment to 3 equal parts. Same steps to devide segment b into 3 equal parts.Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment.png|tool-segment}}, click 2 points to create hem line as the purple arrows show. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-008.jpg|image}}

Dialog appears. Enter value. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-011.jpg|image}}{{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-012.jpg|image}} 
  - Modify the segments by using Segment Sync tool.
    * Use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select the red lines and dart. Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment_sync.png|tool-segment-sync}}. Click Point A. After modifying the segments, right click once. Repeat the former operation for the back piece. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-013.jpg|image}} Use {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool002.jpg|tool002}} to select the red segment. Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-segment_sync.png|tool-segment-sync}}, click Point A then Point B. After modifying the segment, right click once. Repeat the operation for the hem line. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-014.jpg|image}} 
  - Select {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:tool-rectangle.png|tool-rectangle}}, hold down **Option** (Mac) or **Alt** (Windows), left-click the desired area, enter width value 38cm / 15cm /18 cm and height value 3cm to draw three rectangles. {{en:pattern_tutorial:skirt-a:skirt-a-015.jpg|image}}
