NAME
Valentina - Pattern making program.
SYNOPSIS
valentina [options] file
DESCRIPTION
Valentina is a cross-platform patternmaking program which allows designers to create and
model patterns of clothing. This software allows pattern creation, using either multisize
sizing tables or an individual’s set of measurements. It blends new technologies with
traditional methods to create a unique pattern making tool.
OPTIONS

before key “basename”.
--pedantic
Make all parsing warnings into errors. Have effect only in console mode. Use to
force Valentina to immediately terminate if a pattern contains a parsing warning.
--no-scaling
Disable high dpi scaling. Call this option if has problem with scaling (by default
scaling enabled). Alternatively you can use the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
environment variable.
--csvWithHeader
Export to csv with header. By default disabled.
--csvCodec <Codec name>
Specify codec that will be used to save data. List of supported codecs provided by
Qt. Default value depend from system. On Windows, the codec will be based on a

library if no builtin codec for the locale can be found. Valid values usually

EXAMPLE
Export a layout to tiled PDF:
valentina --basename test --destination /home/user/tiled --format 33 --mfile
/home/user/measurements/m1.vit --pedantic
Export pieces to DXF AAMA bypassing the layout stage:
valentina --basename test --destination /home/user/aama --format 18 --mfile
/home/user/measurements/m1.vit --exportOnlyDetails --pedantic --exportSuchDetails .
Export a layout to tiled PDF with final measurements:
valentina --basename test --destination /home/user/tiled --format 33 --mfile
/home/user/measurements/m1.vit --pedantic --csvExportFM /home/user/tiled/test.csv
