Just call me troubled one

Hello,
I have done it again and not sure what I did.....I went to bring up my project that I wanted to make changes on, however when I clicked on the pattern tool, only Favorites came up which is what comes with the pattern editor, I had, another tabs called Lori's Favorites, but I cannot locate this or any of the projects that I had added to save to pattern editor? I had deleted designer and reinstalled then went to help, manage license, which showed I already had pattern editor. Now I am lost and I am seeking help in getter this corrected. Sorry to be such a pain, but I am trying to learn the ins and outs.

Thank you

What operating system do you have and just how did you delete Designer?

If you still cannot find your saved patterns use Windows Explorer to search your C Drive (and subdirectories) for "*.ptn" That should show you all pattern files on your PC and you can look at the creation dates and titles to perhaps find what seemed to be missing and where it or they are stored on the disk. Hope this helps from one who has misplaced files all too often over the years. Just like a PC my brain has no problem with storage, only recall.

Hi,
I have windows xp, I went thru my computer, choose designer and uninstalled, as that is what the directions said to do if I had an older version? I would appreciate any help or ideas.

Thank you

Here are a couple of print screens that I am getting and not sure what or why? When I open designer, I click on open recent choose Mason2revisedreadytocarve,mpc,mpw, then when I try to open I get the second screen regarding collections??? Can you explain what this is and why I might have it?

Here the revision for the mason project again. UI simply remade it using a chevy pattern I had - adding a carved region and using IMPACT font

This is driving me crazy. I am not sure of what to do now? I would appreciate any help you can send my way.

Because it is not a pattern you created, it will not allow you to open it in pattern editor. All you can do is open the project file and make changes that way.

Let me see what I can do for you.

Here import this image into pattern editor and you will not have it as your own.

You will be able to edit it in pattern editor once you import the image.
