Can someone answer this question.
Using the 3d functions in designer:
Can we use the make pattern or other feature and save as a PTN, or is it limited to MPC format?
If saving is only to MPC, then you will need to purchase the 3d package in order to carve patterns shared, or made by others, since if you do not purchase the 3d package you can not upload to the card. But if you made your design into a PTN, then anyone can carve the pattern created.
When grouped, they can be made into patterns.

Here is a link to the original Tips & Tricks with the info on how to use the Make Pattern feature (on pages 6 and 7): http://www.carvewright.com/downloads...cks_Sept08.pdf
It might be worthwhile for everyone to read that over again, as I expect a lot more folks will be making their own patterns now!
I''m expecting (hoping for) the PatternDepot to explode with new patterns available!
Thanks, knew of the make pattern and have used it many times. Was just wondering if the new 3d suite had this ability. You answered my question.
