Scanning Detail

[ChrisAlb]

I am interested in purchasing the scanning probe now that it is on sale. I have one question concerning resizing a scan. Once you scan an object that is 3" x 3", can you enlarge the final scan so that you can carve it larger than the original scanned item such as 10" x 10" or do you have to carve the scanned item at it's orignial size?

Hey Custom

YES, The probe scans an item and Produces a "Pattern Image" from that scan. When you get the probe you get the "Pattern Editor" software with it.

Simply take the card from the machine when it's done and put it in the reader. Open Designer and from the File menu pick "Download Scan". The "Image" then opens in the "Pattern Editor". Then you just save it to your pattern library and it's now a "pattern" with which you can anything you like with. Just like all other patterns.

Not to be picky, but 2" x 2" is one quarter the size of 4" x 4", not half.

make a pattern out of it and put it on a board in designer and make it as big as you want or as small as you want just like any other pattern.
