What is the easiest way to add graphic designs and lettering to my front panel?
Of several options available to transfer panel shapes and grids to other programs, the easiest way to add simple designs or letters is to use Design-A-Pattern’s Grid Screen. The selected panel will be loaded into Paintbrush by clicking the EDIT button (To Paint). Geometric designs can be added with line, square and circle buttons, any font lettering can be added with the ‘text button’, and colors can be added with the ‘color fill’ button in Paintbrush. When you are satisfied, simply click the ‘Exit’ button and say ‘yes’ when Paintbrush asks if you want to save the picture as ‘Paint.bmp’. The computer will return to Design-A-Pattern’s grid screen where you must click the EDIT button (From PAINT). The file ‘Paint.bmp’ will be loaded, and you will be asked to select a grid style or measurements overlay. The panel is ready to print from the Grid Screen..
