FAQ
#1: Shaping Instructions issues
Question:
When I request shaping instructions in Garment Styler, I get 'strange'
shaping instructions, e.g. many stitches wide by 1 row, or similar.
Answer:
First off... does your 'graphic' look normal? Or was it a solid
rectangle. If it was a rectangle, then your shaping instructions
will indeed be abnormal. If it has interesting 'fingers' then there
is also a problem.
In
certain situations, users find that they must switch to 256 color
mode in order to get proper graphics for knitting/shaping within
Garment Styler. If, when you request a graphic, you see a solid
rectangle instead of the shape of a garment, you know you need to
move to 256 color mode. What is happening, is that your video driver
is drawing the outer shape of the garment in such a way that there
is a 'hole' where two lines meet. Thus, when Garment Styler goes
to internally 'fill' the garment, the fill leaks creating a solid
rectangle. The knitting/shaping instructions you request will be
'weird' to say the least. Changing to 256 color mode solves all
problems.
FAQ
#2: Schematic won't print
Question:
I go to print from Garment Styler and no schematic will print. I
can print shaping instructions though.
Answer:
This has something to do with Print Spooling. The solution is
as follows:
- Change
the Print Spooler setting, as follows:
- Double
Click on My Computer
- Double
Click on Printers
- RMB
click on the icon of your printer. Choose Properties.
- Click
on the Details Tab
- Click
on Spool Settings button
- Under
the Spool Data Format, choose EMF (as opposed to RAW).
