Can we go back in History ? Broken point intersect line and axis

Hello, I wanted to change the origin point of a Intersect Line & Axis Point and I choose the wrong point… obviously the file crashed, but now my file has saved for a reason I don’t know and I can’t open it again without it being broken.

When I open the file, nothing shows except the line caused by the broken point.

I have others drafts blocks, so I can go on them and see my pattern stil there and the endless line who causes the problem, but when I return on the first draft block nothing shows again.

I wish there would be a way to select the broken point without clicking on it and delete it. I can’t select anything on this draft block. I went on History and the broken point is there (139) but I can’t go back in time or delete it. seamly2d_3QPmQdAYYt

What can I do ? I have 3 days of work on it, I can’t delete it, and the 2 others drafts block depends on the first one. How can I fix it please ?

Please send me your file & measurement file & I’ll delete it for you. You can send me a private message with your files in them, if you wish.

Hello ! By luck I found a backup of my file on my cloud that I was able to restore, and I went with it. I’m relieved !

Thanks for your answer and for your welcome ! I have benn using Seamly2D for a few years now and it’s a real wonder for work, thanks for this software.

So glad to hear you had a backup handy!

It’s also possible to edit the XML backend of the pattern file with a plaintext or code editor, which is the method @Grace would have used to fix it, but it’s a bit risky.

Welcome @Marion.

In the future don’t panic if a pattern crashes on you… the pattern file format is pretty forgiving, and there’s a few of us that can usually save most if not all of patterrn.
