Help with Pattern Maker.

I dont have the Professional version of Pattern Maker. I hope there is an rctner who does. I am looking to export a pattern in Rich Text Format. The Export Wizard is on pages 99 and 100 of my manual. I am not sure what specifically will come out in RTF, but presumably something to do with the symbols. The idea is that I would send you an *.pat file, and you would send me back an RTF file. Can anyone help? Obviously I only need one volunteer, so I will just choose the first, assuming, as usual, rctners will be able to help. TIA.

Hi, Jim. Wondered if I could help, so I opened up PM and exported a file.

It exports it depending upon the view. If you're in stitch view, it exports that view. If you're in symbol mode, that's what gets exported into a graphics file to be read by your graphics program. I exported one time at 100 and one time at 200. Huge difference in size.

The Rich Text Format (rtf) is the pattern information, not the pattern itself. So, any details you have, floss useage, floss colors, etc., are exported to a SEPARATE document (rtf file) and includes the little floss color squares.

You're welcome to send me the PAT file and I can send you back a graphics file and the information file in rtf. RTF can be read by most word processing software.

Tell me what it is you're actually trying to end up with, and maybe I can help you further. :-)

Sounds like you have help, but if you need anything else, please let me know.

I've got PM Pro and I can make it a PDF if RTF doesn't work out for you.

Namaste, Cyn
