Show Workspace Canvas Tool Icon

Show Workspace Canvas Tool

What it Does​

Shows the edges of the canvas, which is the area of the workspace that PatternMaker Pro uses for your draft. The canvas appears as a yellow area with a green border. Use this when you want to check that your whole drawing fits inside it.

Keep your drawing inside the canvas. Items outside it may be hard to find or may be left out when you print or export.

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by clicking the Show Workspace Canvas icon. The yellow canvas appears at once.
  2. Look at your draft. Check that everything is inside the green border.
  3. Select Close to hide the canvas.
info

The canvas is only a guide. It does not change your draft.
