if it has a grain line symbol.
Symmetry
These options control the way the patterns are generated for the
marker.

None option: the pattern is generated just as it is constructed.

Create piece option: on preparing the pattern for the marker, an
independent mirror piece is also generated.

Unfold option: on preparing the pattern for the marker, the pattern is unfolded to create a single piece containing the original
pattern and its mirror-image. The mirror-image is created by taking as the axis of symmetry the line that joins the first and last
grading points on the pattern boundary.
In section 8.1.1 Preparation of pieces the outcome of selecting this
option is described in more detail.
Labels
If the Insert option is active, the command enables the insertion of
labels into the pattern to visualize the pattern data. The labels are
inserted with the following format:
MODEL: <Model>
SIZE: <Size>
PIECE: <Piece>
QUANT.: <No. pieces> [<symmetry>]
The text QUANT (No. pieces) displays the number of pieces to be
generated, followed by the text "(S)" if the option Create piece has
been activated.
By de-activating the Headers option, only the actual labels will be
inserted. This option is useful when printing patterns on a pen plotter
as lengthy text labels prolong the plot time considerably.
The height of the labels on the drawing can be controlled by changing the value of Height.
Once all of the label data has been entered, click OK. If the Insert option has been
activated, the command requeststhe insertion point for the labels. If the label data of
a pattern that already has identifying labels is being modified, you can press ENTER
to conserve the previous position.
