Export Memorized Draft

What it Does

Saves a file that holds the steps of the current draft, so you can rebuild it later with the Import Memorized Draft tool. This is how you keep a master pattern you can redraw in other sizes.

The file holds the tools you used and the choices you made. It also holds the names of the measurements the draft used, but not their values. You pick the values when you import. To learn how memorized drafts work, see Memorized Drafts.

Use this when you want to keep a copy of a memorized draft outside the browser, share it, or move it to another computer.

Only a memorized draft can be exported. If the draft is not memorized, a message tells you it can't be exported.

How to Use

1. Select File > Memorized Draft > Export Draft from the main menu
2. A small window from your browser asks "Enter a name for this draft:". Type a name. The draft's current name is already filled in
3. Select OK in the browser window. Selecting Cancel stops the export
4. Your browser saves a file named after the draft, with spaces changed to underscores and _draft.json at the end. For example, "My Bodice" becomes My_Bodice_draft.json

info

Your browser decides where the file goes. Most browsers save it to the Downloads folder. Some ask you where to save it, depending on the browser settings. Look in your Downloads folder if you can't find the file.

info

The name you type becomes the name stored in the file. It does not rename the draft in PMP.
