all locked now and I have the purchased the program...I'll sort more info tomorrow....thank you all for your help

Sorry guys very new to this forum and don't know my way around yet...good advise what you've given me but still have the problem above

no it's nothing that the company has done with the patterns...I've selected over patterns and once I've edited them they also lock and I still cannot export them

Im having problems with some of my edited sewing patterns locking and cannot export the file...any ideas

I'm sorry I don't understand what a .aftermplate is I've only had the software a few days...I have tried the same pattern several times and the first one i did worked fine (first pic) then when I went back into it to edit and different size of the same pattern it's now locked (Second pic)....it cannot be the patterns as I chosen random ones from a verity of company's so quite clearly I must have touched something in the software without realising....I've even un installed and re installed but that makes no difference. I've tried getting help via messenger with affinity but been waiting for over an hour to be put thought to the tech people ? Can you tell me if I'm using it correct what I do is 1. New Doc then choose A4 2. Open the file I wish to edit

I'm a sewer and use PDF patterns via Adobe, the sewing world has now caught up with tech now and we are projecting our patterns via our projectors. I have quite a few patterns from a certain company where the outline of the pattern is hard to see. I have pulled a pattern through affinity (very new to this software) and edited last night (made the lines thicker to see and colour coded all the pieces on the pattern) but today I've tried the same pattern and adjusted to a different size (grandchildren different ages) so I can do the same as above but when I go to export it tells me it cannot be exported....I have tried other patterns and it seems they are all following and giving me problems exporting them....any advise please.
