I don't really understand your question. Can you show something and describe the steps you are taking?

I apologize, I should have been more specific. I am trying to grade a bodice for a sewing pattern, but it keeps deleting my image when I do the transform part. I hope the picture is more helpful. I know how to grade using the earlier versions from Utube, but I have the 2023 version which is different. If someone knows the steps and can help me, I would really appreciate it.

"Grade"? Illustrator is being used for a whole lot of different things and only few people are in fashion.

Can you please tell us what exactly you are doing step by step? The functions you are using in Illustrator? And please show screenshots that include the Layers panel and the appearance panel. Object selected.

I am trying to grade sewing patterns in Adobe 2023, you know grading sewing patterns for different sizes but it is very different then the past versions. People use Illustrator to produce their PDF sewing patterns. Grading is one thing they produce different sizes using Illustrator. I know how to do past versions but evidently 2023 is very different to grade sewing patterns. I have 2023 version. I need help from someone who knows the steps in 2023 version to grade patterns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQl_v9rcYNA&t=439s. The youtube video is a past version, but it seems noone knows how to grade sewing patterns in 2023 AI.

Pattern Grading in Adobe Illustrator

- Pattern grading is the process of creating different sizes of a garment pattern based on a set of measurements and grading rules.
- Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics software that can be used to create and edit pattern pieces digitally.
- To grade a pattern in Adobe Illustrator, you need to follow these steps:

- Create a base size pattern using the Pen tool, the Shape tool, or by importing an existing pattern file.
- Label each pattern piece with its name, size, grainline, and seam allowance using the Text tool and the Line tool.
- Group each pattern piece and its labels together using the Selection tool and the Object > Group command.
- Copy and paste each pattern piece to create as many sizes as you need using the Selection tool and the Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste commands.
- Adjust the size of each pattern piece according to the grading rules using the Direct Selection tool, the Scale tool, or the Transform panel.
- Align each pattern piece with its corresponding base size piece using the Align panel or the Smart Guides feature.
- Check the accuracy of your grading by measuring the distances between key points on each pattern piece using the Measure tool or the Document Info panel.
- Save your graded pattern as an Illustrator file or export it as a PDF file using the File > Save or File > Export commands.
