Hello,

I scanned a purchased pattern and converted it to bitmap. I used Win Topo and successfully saved the pattern as a dxf file in Patternmaker Professional Studio that I own. How do I get specific body measurements into the dxf pattern I’ve created? I’ve downloaded the trial version of the MacroGen just in case I would need it for this purpose. By body measurements, I mean importing Leena's measurement table files in Patternmaker into my dxf pattern file.

Thanks again,

Sonya Iacono

I dont think you can do that. Macro gen works with its own measurement table. A macro is generated from a master table. On patternmaker, the macro can be run to generate a new pattern. Not the other way round. If your pattern is not linked to any master measurement table (means has not been generated by a macro made in Macro generator), you have to adapt the pattern to your body measurement manually with the distance function and move vertex function (among others).

Thank you for your response. Macro Gen is probably the way to go for what I'm trying to do.

yes, you have to put the input of your pattern yourself point by point. It takes a while but the result is a macro which can fit any measument from a measurements table or individual measurement.
