Tool

What it Does

Saves a picture of part of your workspace as an image file. You drag a box around the area you want, and PMP makes a PNG image of just that area.

Use this when you want a picture of one detail of your draft, for your own notes or for your pattern instructions.

The picture is made at three times the size shown on screen, so it stays sharp when printed.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by selecting the Workspace Snapshot icon
2. Click in the workspace and drag to draw a box around the area you want. You can drag in any direction
3. Release the mouse. PMP creates a PNG file named PMP_Illustration_ followed by a number. It is saved the way any browser download is, so check your Downloads folder or the save window your browser shows
4. To take another picture, select Marquee Select and drag a new box. Marquee select means drawing a selection box
5. Select Close when you are finished

info

A box that is only a pixel wide or less does not make a picture. Drag a larger box.
