How to print pattern to scale for a designer?

[Jeanne McDermott]

Good morning, I designed a curved box pleated valance for a designer and she asked if I could print out the design to scale so she can make it.....how do I do this?? TIA

Does she want an actual full size paper pattern? You can do this using the Marketing tab - scale is 1" = 1" - by taking each scaled piece and breaking it down into 8x10 sections, printing then taping it all together. I showed this on the D&D Pro forum recently.https://draperyanddesign.com/showthr...=marketing+tab

yes, full size - i will experiment and let her know! Thank you!!

I would definitely consider telling the designer there will an extra charge for that!

[Jeanne McDermott]

yes madam!!

Or.... have her purchase a pattern from M'Fay and she can do her own layout!

Thanks Merlyn - this is an eyebrow arch that is 84" wide. I gave the designer the dimensions to scale of the rendering so she has a place to start. I guess she thought a "magic" pattern could be printed out like a Mfay pattern

you might be able to do a half pattern in Studio to fit a letter size page and then have Kinko's or Staples blow it up and print on architectural blueprint type paper. She still needs to cut and piece the fabric to put it together
