Sorry if this has been repeated, I am behind as I only get the posts daily.

I am still able to open my DS patterns in MPD (current builds)
consistently, but as previously explained in other posts.......
1. Some patterns simply don't translate well when imported from DS to
MPD - you should print in 1/4 scale and compare.
2. You have to make all the changes and selections in DS, you can only
import and print the pattern in MPD.
3. In previous builds we have seen differences between the patterns
when drafted in DS, then opened in MPD, better fit in knits for one.
I did find that there was no back neckline curve in MPD patterns until
this current update, but thank you this is now fixed for the same
measurements.
4. To import my DS patterns quickly I have created a desktop shortcut,
and use the side menu of 'Open Pattern' in MPD to select that
folder and find the pattern I want (in XP Pro). (after using the
same/similar measurement sets in both programs, and creating & saving
the pattern in DS).
5. Should MPD tell me that I can only preview the pattern imported from
DS,....... open the top right Help menu, what do I own. Let that window
come up then close it again. This usually re-enables the print icon
again. As long as this works I let sleeping monsters lie..... (This
has been a glitch in some peoples systems consistently,
but not apparently suffered by all).

Hope this helps.
