Open Existing Draft

What it Does

Opens a draft you saved earlier so you can keep working on it. A draft is one pattern project. PMP keeps your drafts in the browser's own storage, so they stay there when you close the browser. Any images or PDFs you imported into the draft come back when you open it.

Use this when you want to continue a pattern or look at it again.

warning

The draft that is open now is closed as soon as you select this menu item. Select Save in your current tool first if you want to keep recent changes.

How to Use

1. Select File > Open Existing Draft from the main menu.
2. A window lists your drafts as cards. Each card shows a picture, the draft name, its unit, whether it is memorized and the date it was last modified. The newest draft is first.
3. Optional: Type in the Search drafts by name... box to show only drafts whose names contain what you typed.
4. Optional: Use the sort list to change the order. You can choose Sort: Newest First, Sort: Oldest First, Sort: Name (A-Z) or Sort: Name (Z-A).
5. Select a draft card to open it in the workspace.
6. Select Close if you decide not to open a draft.

If you have no saved drafts, a message says so and the draft you have open stays as it is.

The draft opens at its latest version. The measurement set shown in the toolbox is empty, so load a set again if you need one. See Load Set for Active Draft.

info

A draft shows in this list only after it has been saved at least once. See New Draft.
