Make a design fit to any size with scripts

[Fuland111]

Hi everyone, is there a scripts to make a design fit to any size object?
so far i have been doing it manually one by one. i make a design for a t-shirt then apply the design to several different t-shirt pattern sizes. i think there should be a faster automatic way to do that.
Thank youuu

The only way to do that would be blends. But I do not think that sizes grow like that, right?

Yes, the size must be adjusted again

Fuland,

In this particular case you can simply scale the design by the difference in one template path segment, such as the horizontal one at the bottom or the vertical one between sleeve and bottom, because the different T shirt size templates have the same proportions.

However, I doubt whether the proportionate size templates is a sound approach. The general approach is different changes in size (and shape) of each template part with the corresponding mutual adaptation, this approach obviously applied differently depending on choice of builds to fit.

Have you made the templates or are they existing ones?

Anyroad, with an uncomplicated design as the one shown, I believe you can safely centre it and then simply scale it horizontally by the width (bottom/sides) and horizontally by the height (bottom to neck).

As always, it is good to assess the appearance (size and especially position) in each case.

yes, i have been doing it like that. i made the template for it too, but it still needs some adjustments for each design and size. i wonder if there is a faster way than that

I guess the complex answer is this?  https://dresspatternmaking.com/blog/fit-sizing-measurements-the-fashion-industry-garment-manufacturi...

Hi @Fuland111,  one approach is to create the artwork in a separate document—eg. sized to fit your L tshirt size—and then place that .ai document three times into your output document and just scale down for the M and S tshirts.

Then, next time, when you have a new tshirt to make, duplicate that artwork and output file, edit the artwork to your new design (but—important—keep it the same size) and then relink the three placed images to the new artwork file. A that point it will update, and all the sizes will be correct, ready to print.

By the way, scripting this is also possible, but it is a complex topic and involves a lot of time, not least to just understand *exactly* what you want. If you want to go that route, you should contact a skilled scripter with a budget in mind.

Yes, this way I have many points of view on this problem, but the big picture is already visible, it turns out that it is possible to have scripts for this problem.
