ENHANCED in SymmetryMill 2
You can load shared patterns into your SymmetryMill session both from the
web and from within SymmetryMill itself. Either way you get exactly the same
end result.
Load a pattern set from the web
To open a shared pattern, drag and drop the pattern's web address from a web browser into the Pattern window.
Load a pattern set from within SymmetryMill
From within SymmetryMill, you can load a shared set either directly by its web address
or by first loading the source image and then browsing to the shared set you wish to open,
similarly to how you can
open a private pattern set.
Do one of the following:
- If you know the web address of a pattern set,
click the Load Shared Patterns button
in the SymmetryMill toolbar, enter (paste) the web address of the pattern
set, and click Load.
- If you know the web address of the source image:
- Click the Load Image button
in the SymmetryMill toolbar, enter (paste) the image web address, and click Load.
- Click the Manage Snapshots button
in the SymmetryMill toolbar.
- In the Shared Sets section, find the set you wish to load and click OK.
The Manage Snapshots dialog
lets you browse pattern sets and preview their
content. On exit, the dialog loads the private or public set that you have chosen.
Loading a shared pattern set creates your own private copy of that set. The sharing
status of the set is indicated by the
Share Status button
in the SymmetryMill toolbar.
