Scan size changes in pattern editor?

[Ron & Mary]

I scanned in a item of pistol Grips, it scanned nice but the size changed when it went to pattern editor. Why? I am having problem keeping the scan size, I have scan other items before and put in to library and then to new project and it carved nicely same size. But I can not this time, anybody have a clue of what is happening I have rescanned several time same problem.

Thanks

The resolution changes depending on the quality of the scan I think. If you scanned in "Best" mode you may want to try "normal" to get closer to actual size. Best bet however, is to resize your scan in the editor software.

Thanks Terry,
I will give it a try, I know the resolution would change which will increase the file size but I figure the dimension should say the same. I think. Thanks for the reply, I will give it a try and see.

what version of the software are you using? they supposedly fixed that in a new version but it may have reared it ugly head again in the latest version.

The PatternEditor should automatically account for what ever resolution was used while scanning. This was fixed a long time ago. If you are using an old version of Designer/PE that might be the problem.

Ron & Mary,
Just received my CarveWright Wednesday and my first project is grips for a SAA Colt. I've done a scan but I'm still working on the design. Any advice or help would be appritiated.

I'm still having the same problem, regardless of quality setting, it does it on all settings, and I've wasted over 20 hours scan time now on different objects.
Has ANYONE any ideas for us?

Try locking all sides of PTN to sides or center grid. Nothing can change then.

Thanks, but this is happening before it is even saved on your hard drive, in the downloading from the card process...

What version of the software are you using?...and, is your memory card flashed with the same version?
