Clarification (I hope).

PTN files are backward compatible, MPW files are not.

For instance, if you download a scan in Designer 2.0X and first save it into a MPW file format to work on it, before converting it to a PTN, it will not be usable in 1.187.

Instead, first save it to a PTN, then edit it and avoid the MPW format.



Hope this is clear...

This is all so confusing. I tried opening the pattern with the old version and it opened the pattern editor. It should work with 1.187 cause the last one I shared came from this version.

You are right! But, it only works for you because it is your pattern.

I just tried an experiment. Saved a pattern in the 2.001 pattern editor. When I tried to open it in in Designer 1.187, it opened fine in the 1.187 pattern editor. If, however, it had not been my pattern, the pattern editor would not have opened. Instead, the import window would been called and would have rejected it.

Edit: maybe some more experimenting is required!

I find this is true: Create an mpw in the 2.001 pattern editor, save it and it will not open in the 1.187 pattern editor.

My question is: If someone else creates a ptn in the 2.001, can I open it in the 1.187 import window? (Was the coffee cup and example or was it a ptn from an mpw in 2.001?)

Can someone with see if Designer 1.187 will open the attached pattern which was saved in the 2.001 pattern editor?

Probably didn't come from 187. It opened in 186 for me. It wouldn't do that if it was 187.

Still haven't gone to 187 until its fixed. But your pattern opened in 186.

LOL!!!! It opened for me in 1.187.

Was it ever saved as an MPW in 2.001?

No. If ptn files are backward compatible for other users, this should open in the import window.
