Lettering & help

Why will my XSD chart not open?

Check whether your XSD is a Pattern Maker chart, its version and what the reader preserves.

What to check

  1. Check the source: XSD may be a Pattern Maker chart or an unrelated XML Schema document.
  2. Browser: limited Pattern Maker 4; other versions, special stitches or extra data may prevent full conversion.
  3. Read warnings; extra data means keep the original and do not treat export as a full backup.

Compare the readable chart and legend with the source program if available.

A file you can check

Synthetic reader test, not a customer chart; passing does not validate other source files.
