Hi Sara…Yes. We’ve seen this happen before. For some reason this part of the pattern file:
< !--Pattern created with Seamly2D v2023.11.27.149 (https://seamly.io).-->
< version>0.6.8</version>
< unit>cm</unit>
< description/>
< notes/>
< measurements/>
< increments/>
was written in the middle of the file and not at the top so draftBlock "Apron " was being parsed out of order:
Here’s the fixed pattern file:
apron pattern_fixed.sm2d (15.0 KB)
I also suggest you update to the latest release as the pattern was written using a a version that’s about a year and 1/2 old. There’s been a lot of bug fixes and new features added since then.

Thank you very much
But I have a question: If I update to the latest version, will all my previous patterns work fine on this new version or will I need to redo it again ?
All your previous patterns will work with any new release. They will get converted to the new pattern version. It does mean though that once you save in a new format, the pattern can not be opened in an older version of Seamly2D. In the case where you do open on older version pattern a backup file is made before converting. For example if you had a pattern named mypattern.sm2d… it will be renamed with the ver number appended… like mypattern_v068.sm2d. So in the worst case senario you can always go back to a pattern that opens in an older version of the app.
BTW… I just merged a major bug fix to the internal paths which will be in the next release sun eve - mon morning… so I suggest waiting till the new release appears to update.
