Patternmaking: export large file, Qpainter warning message

[sewingmymy]

Hi everyone, I am a new user of Seamly2D. I have finished my very first pattern, the format is larger than a normal A0 (it is a 80x60 inches). I am trying to export and/or save the pattern in PDF or JPEG in order to print it later on. I cannot export in JPEG format, when I try everything seems to be fine but I cannot find the saved JPEG files afterwords. I also tried to export the pattern as tiled A0 PDF, but I have 2 error messages. The first one is: "Warning- Qpainter::begin(): Returned false"; the second one is: "Warning- failed to open file, is it writable?"; and then nothing else is happening. Has anyone encounter these issues? Could anyone help me fix these issues?

Hi... can you send your pattern and measurement files so I can take a look to see if I can determine what the issue is?

Also if you could provide the build date of Seamly2D it would be helpful.

Also ... have you tried any other formats like PNG OR SVG?

Hi,

I have tried other formats, SVG and EPS work fine, PNG does the same as JPEG. I have attached the SVG file I have managed to save. The pattern was an attempt to recreate a 1890's circular skirt, meaning that it is long and quite full. Here is a screenshot of the Seamly2D details: [image: image.png]

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional information. Best regards,

Emy
