French term or phrase: claque

This is a section of a training manual for patternmaking software. This section is talking about closing a dart.

"Il est conseillé de travailler sur le Patron plan sur un plan ou claque spécifique au pivot de pince."

I can't find any definition or use of "claque" that would make sense in this context.

It is French from France for US English.

TIA

stencil

Explanation:
This is a typo. The word should have been "calque".

(there is also an extra "plan". I think the sentence should be "Il est conseillé de travailler sur le Patron, sur un plan ou calque spécifique au pivot de pince.")

Grading comment

With the clarification of the typo, I was able to find "calque" in the TM. It was translated mostly as "layer" although once as "tracing" (thanks, Phil). Thank you all for your responses.

duplicate copy

Explanation:
Plainly said, it is a copy or duplicate- Tracing is the act of producing the said copy.

Example sentence(s):

Preserve your sewing patterns by tracing them so you can use them again and again! ... You now have a duplicate copy of the pattern ready for use!
