love dollsprinting problems
I need help..I just purchased Doll Shop 8 and I'm having problems printing a pattern from one of the doll patterns already given. I select my pattern piece which is the yoke of a dress pattern, then hit print..I cannot seem to get a full scale grid on my computer screen. I have tried changing the side margins but that does not help. And I am not getting any side targets..what am I doing wrong?..please help..thank you

There should be a scale icon immediately next to the print icon. Click scale until it reads 100%. Various notes:
1. You cannot print full scale any patterns you do not own.
2. Some doll patterns will fit on one page. If you are at 100% scale and it all fits on one page, you will not get the page alignment markers.
I hope something there covers the problem...

Kaaren HobackSorry- not quite enough info given for me to get specific- you loaded a doll chart- which one?
You selected an owned pattern - which one?
you have activated the program and patterns you purchased?
They you opted to print - and you already had your page set up completed to match the preferences of your printer. and completed the File>settings preferences?
You used the scale button to select 100% and saw it resize on screen?
If the pattern was not owned it will only allow fit to screen scaling.
if the program wasnt yet activated it would be in demo mode and not print for you
Sending a problem report (help> submit problem report) allows us to see what is activated,and any issue there might be with the loaded size chart or pattern....we can be of more help with that info.
