Click on "File" in the upper left corner of your screen. In the drop down menu click on "Download Scan". This will download the scan from your card and open the Pattern Editor.

Your scanned pattern should now be in your Designer Favorites, like any other pattern.

You just bring it into your board as normal. The Card is just the avenue to transfer it from the Probe Scan to the PC. From there "you" store it, and name it, in the PC as you wish.

If you do not remember what name you assigned, or where you put it, use Windows Search and look for a file name of "*.ptn" and limit the search to the date you downloaded the scan. If that does not help, re-do the download and pay attention to each step of the save process.

Here is an 87.4 MB AVI lesson on Organization that may help you.
