Passmarks on Hems
Currently, the passmarks tool works great. However, there are some minor issues.
This is a real-world case that would be great to have fixed asap-ish :)
When you make a hem using the custom seam allowance tool, and designate the corner point as a passmark, the passmark ends up in the corner of the newly created hem. This is kind of useless.
In a production/factory scenario, ideally, you'd have a notch indicating where the hem starts horizontally, and where the seam ends vertically. This way the seamstresses don't have to think, which is good :)
Attached a .val file for example and an edited picture of how ideally this could be fixed on a corner passmark.
This not only applies to the hem, but also the top neck seam on a jacket.
Maybe a new type of passmark labeled "corner passmark" could be added to fix this? This variation would add a passmark horizontally on the seam, and vertically on the hem.

reporter Of note: in a factory scenario, patterns do not get plotted, they get cut on a big machine. Seamstresses never get to see the pattern (apart from some optional paper templates to check crucial curves or corners (like lapel and button placement).
With a "corner passmark" a seamstress can easily see how big the seam allowance/hem is and where the previous seam/hem ends.

Good idea.
But how will look a passmark if a seam allowance is built in? I mean a shape already contains seam allowance.

reporter That's a good question. Very rarely I think do people create a hem/seam like this case without also creating some extra points and lines which then indicate where the hem/seam ends/starts. So in that case, one would already have added notches where he would want them.
Alternatively a point can be made that a corner notch is useless if it's hiding in a corner of the seam, where it indicates nothing. It could then default back to 1cm each way on each seam, unless specified otherwise in the seam allowance dialog.
