下載了八度大大的新鉤針軟件，可是都英文看得一頭霧水，翻譯了一下，和壇子里面的JM一同討論。現在只弄好了概況部分，下面的我也沒有看完，所以如果有些地方說的不清楚或者不對，大家包涵，提出來一起討論哈。我這也是摸著石頭過河，希望最后都能學會這個軟件~~

選擇文件/新圖案。SC會彈出一個圖案設置的對話框。把對這個圖案的描述填入對話框。如果想改變SC對此圖案的顯示法，點擊顯示欄。如果你已經完成了對所有項目的選擇，點擊OK，然后就可以看到一個新圖案顯示在屏幕上。例如，在用戶創建了一個叫DemoNew with eight section新圖案后，SC顯示如下圖：

Opening an Existing Pattern 打開已經存在的圖案

From the File menu, choose Open or a number from the Recent File list; SymblCro will open the pattern and present a screen showing where you left off. SymblCro loads the pattern row-by-row, displaying the row number in the status bar. 從文件目錄里面的當前文件列表里打開；SC會打開這個圖案平且顯示出上次離開時此圖案的狀態。SC會一行一行載入這個圖案，在狀態欄里面現實行數。

Working with a Pattern 圖案操作

SymblCro displays an open pattern in the drawing and text panes. This allows pattern drawing and/or editing the pattern text. Edit a pattern by adding and deleting rows, and placing and deleting stitches. Edit text directions by typing them in the text pane.  For more details about working with a Pattern SC的制圖和文本塊會顯示打開圖案的數據。這里可以繪制圖案或者編輯圖案的文本。可以加入或刪除行，確定或者刪除針法。可以在文本塊里面鍵入解釋說明。更加詳細的內容請參考后面的working with a Pattern

The illustration shows a pattern in the early stages. The pattern is round with eight sections, so the grid shows eight radial lines and a circle surrounding the previous row. The user has moved the pattern center away from the middle of the drawing pane. The stitch bar, at the bottom, shows 5DoublePopcorn, a user defined custom stitch, as the current "default" stitch. The status bar, above the stitch bar says the pattern currently has 5 rows and 207 stitches. It also says the pattern has been modified but not printed, and the zoom factor is 100%.這個圖顯示了一個圖案早期的形成。這個圖案是一個分成八片的圓形，所以顯示出八條射線和一個圓形的坐標網格。操作者從繪制塊里面移動圖案的中心。針法欄里面顯示的是5長針爆米花真，操作者在‘默認’針法里面說明了此針法。在針法欄上面的狀態欄，顯示出了這個圖案現在有5行207針。也說明了這個圖案已經修改過但是沒有打印，圖案尺寸的縮放率顯示為100%。

After editing and correcting, "ghosts" of deleted stitches may appear in the drawing. To redraw the pattern cleanly, type F5 or select View\Refresh. 在編輯和改正后，可能會有一些地方有刪除的痕跡。刷新圖案可以消除這些痕跡，刷新可以用F5或者選察看\刷新。

Change the Zoom Factor by selecting View\Zoom. 改變圖案尺寸縮放率選擇察看\縮放。

Turn the grid on and off by typing Ctrl+G or select View\Grid. 打開或者關閉坐標網格用Ctrl+G或者選察看\坐標網格
Change the number of sections by selecting Pattern\Display and changing the section count. 改變片數選擇圖案\顯示，可以選擇片數。
Move the Center of the graph by choosing Move Here from the Context Menu. 選擇內容菜單里面的Move Here可以移動圖案的中心

Pattern Settings 圖案設置

Pattern Settings, such as pattern name, designer name, and thread selection can be changed in the Pattern Settings dialog. Open it from Pattern\Settings.圖案設置，就像圖案名稱，設計者名字，用線的選擇可以在圖案設置對話框里面修改。對話框從圖案\設置打開。

Pattern Display 圖案顯示
Display options, such as section count, and stitch colors can be set for each pattern in the Pattern Display dialog.顯示選項，像是片數，針法的顏色，可以在圖案顯示對話框上面設置。
