Smart Parameters
CINCHFit Parameters

What are “Smart Parameters”? We’re glad you asked!

These are settings that you can set to choose whether the block can be automatically adjusted based on minimum / maximum width and height.

Ok, so what exactly does that mean?

These parameters are used with the CINCHFit auto block placement feature that automatically determines the best fit for blocks. You can set a minimum and maximum width and height for a block. This works best when you have extra fabric that you could add around a design, t-shirt logo or jersey number.


Always Improving!

The Block Designer is constantly getting upgrades which include additional time-saving features coming soon!
