Main toolbar actions

  • Dashboard: return to your pattern list.
  • Save: manually save (autosave also runs in the background).
  • Export: opens export dialog.
  • New Import / Re-import: regenerate from image with new settings.

View modes

Common modes include:

  • Symbols: symbol-first view for stitch reading.
  • Colours: colour-first view.
  • Both: mixed symbol and colour context.
  • Preview: visual result.
  • Compare: compare versions/look.

Practical use

  • Use Symbols/Both when checking stitch-by-stitch readability.
  • Use Preview/Compare when judging visual quality.
  • Save before opening export to avoid missing recent changes.
