What is the first thing I should do when opening My Label Software? |
| |
The first thing you should do is watch the slides of the First Time Help for an overview of the steps to My Label.
Then you should go directly to help and read all the onscreen support that is included in the Help section. Reading and printing this material will teach you how to use the software, how to measure, how to select a flattering style and loads of other important information. Next, you should register your My Label software. Once you register, you will be informed of updates and new information. |

My model does not look like the model in the Help manual. She is silvery gray with no underclothing, what is wrong? |
| |
The problem is with the video card in your computer. First check that you have current video drivers for your computer. You may also want to call the Help desk for your brand of computer. Please check your computer specs with the computer requirements recommended. |

Do I have to print my patterns in PDF format? Can't I print them directly to the plotter? |
| |
You can print directly to the plotter if your computer is connected to the plotter and you have the plotter driver loaded on your computer. Consider printing your patterns to PDF anyway, even if you don't print them; then file them away in case you want to refer back to a particular style variation that you haven't saved on your computer. |

When do I change model measurements and when do I change style properties measurements? |
| |
Style Properties measurements are adjusted when you want to adapt a style due to ease preferences, when you need to make an adjustment because of your body shape (see Adjusting Style Properties), when you want to make an adjustment to change the length of the garment, the width of the pant leg, or other style preferences. Adjustments are made in model measurements to refine the fit after testing the fit with a trial garment, when you gain/lose weight, or when you re-measure a body measurement and find that the measurement was taken incorrectly. |

I have opened a style and my Style Properties box disappeared and Piece Properties are showing in its place. How do I get them to return? |

I already have a PDF writer on my computer. Do I have to install the one that is included with the security key? |
| |
You may use the PDF writer that you have on your computer. Make sure to set it for the size of paper you are printing and make sure that the printer is set to print at 100% size, not "fit to page." |
