Hello Armin,

thank you very much for your answer! It will work this way.

Maybe you are interested with what you helped me. I started a small Fair Trade business. I imported Fair trade fabric, made patterns, and sewed shirts. Now the production will be done in India, where the workers need a fair salary. Therefore I need to digitize the patterns. This is usually done with special pattern programs, that are more expensive than I can afford. (CAD Assyst 10.000€) So I learned how to work with Librecad (a little). Last step are the notches. These are marks in the fabric, so the workers know that the fabric is laying in exact position, when sewing. If you have a look at your shirt, you notice that the arm hole and the sleeve are curved in opposite directions. On these curves the notches have to match. So a function of departing from a point for a given distance on the arc would be the easiest. But the way you suggested will work as well. Thank you again, you've just helped to save the world:)

Cheers, York
