Computer Aided Pattern Design

Opening a Studio FileStudio files can be stored in folders in different locations including the computer, a flash drive, or the Studio Library. There are two ways to open a file. The standard "Open" function adds each file in its own tab in the Studio software allowing you to have multiple files to work on by clicking a specific tab. The other way to open a file is to use the "Merge" function. This function adds merged files into the current tab. ContentsOpening a Computer FileIf you are using your own computer, you can organize the folders for your Studio files however you like. If you are using a shared computer, such as one at a library or other MakerSpace, you can keep your files on a flash drive. The process for opening a Studio file on either a local computer or a removable flash drive is the same.

Merging a Computer FileWhile the Open function loads a file into its own tab in the Studio Software, the Merge functrion can be used to combine different files onto a single tab. For example, when the PGM-8 quarter-scale Master Pattern is to be scaled to full size, a Quarter-Scale Grid is merged with the pattern. Download the appropriate Quarter-Scale Grid as described in the Download instructions.

Opening a Studio Library FileThe Studio Library is a special location on the web that can be accessed from any computer that has the Studio software installed. It is a storage space created for a specific registered Studio customer and requires that customer's password to access it. This is also referred to as Cloud storage.
When you are using a shared computer and are finished, be sure to sign out using the links at the top left side of the Studio Library function.
