While we’ve only drawn the end of one strap, it’s pretty obvious they overlap, which makes it impossible to cut out, so we’re going to have to address that.
Specifically, we’re going to rotate our strap out of the way until it no longer overlaps. The rest of our bib should stay as it is, so let’s start by making a list of points we need to rotate.
However, there is a catch.
Macros and auto-generated IDs
We have used the round macro to help us round the corners
of our strap, and it added a bunch of auto-generated points to our pattern. We need to
rotate these points too, but what are their names?
A macro will return the names of the things it created. So far, we have not captured that return value, but if we did, it would look like this:
mjs
{
"tipRightTop": {
"points": {
"start": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightTop_start",
"cp1": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightTop_cp1",
"cp2": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightTop_cp2",
"end": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightTop_end"
},
"paths": {
"path": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightTop_path"
}
},
"tipRightBottom": {
"points": {
"start": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightBottom_start",
"cp1": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightBottom_cp1",
"cp2": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightBottom_cp2",
"end": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightBottom_end"
},
"paths": {
"path": "__macro_@freesewing/plugin-round_tipRightBottom_path"
}
}
}
Those names aren’t very handy to remember. So I will rewrite this code a bit to
we’ll capture these return values from the round macros and create
easy-to-remember points from them:

Once we have our list of points to rotate, we can rotate them. How far? Until the strap no longer overlaps.
