File Command
The File commands are used to organize and save your work. CS uses ‘projects’ to
collect, hold, preview and save the patterns and layout you choose for your quilt.
Projects are described in detail later in this text so at this point, consider them to be
a file folder that holds all the details about a quilt. Click on the command “File” to see
the options.
New Project - is used when starting a new quilt. (Ctrl+N is the keyboard shortcut).
Open Project - is used when the project already exists. (Ctrl+O is the keyboard
shortcut).
Save Project - saves all of the elements of the project together using the current
project name. Save Often! (Ctrl+S is the keyboard shortcut).
Save Project As - saves all of the elements of the project together AND lets you give
it a different name.
Exit CreativeStudio - will close the software, just like the Quick Exit icon.
2.2.2 Edit Command
Tip: The default project name is “My Quilt Project”. Although it is
possible to add patterns to this and save it, it is not advisable. So,
always provide your own project names. Consider using a naming
convention that somehow identifies the quilt; perhaps by date,
customer, style, event or some other combination of methods.
CS provides the ability to undo (or redo) the previous command, so if a command
step is made by mistake, it can be immediately corrected. If you backup too far,
Redo will “Undo the Undo” or go forward again. This does not apply to measurement
changes, just commands.
Store Undo will store the current state (this is for the techie people).
Undo will reverse the previous command.
Redo will re-execute the previous command.
