Hello, I’m having trouble with my pattern: I keep getting the Error Parsing File on opening and the file is now unusable. Arrgh. I’m pretty sure it stems from me joining two pattern peices together, because there was a line missing and another that didn’t belong after I had done so. Anywho, please help 
I’ve tried to upload the files but keep getting a popup that new users aren’t allowed to upload things. So if someone could give me a hand with that, too, please… 
I bumped your level up so you should be able to attach pics / files now. Also if you could provide the build version of the app (help->about) it may help us. It may just be a case where you have an older version with bugs that have been fixed.
Hi Douglas, yay, thanks for that! The version I’m using is 2025.6.9.216 Here are the files:
Trigun Coat.sm2d (213.4 KB)
Trigun Coat.smis (2.7 KB)
I removed the Internal Path that the parser was errorring out on from the Union piece throwing the error, & it seems to work now:
Trigun Coat_edit.sm2d (213.4 KB)
P.S. It would probably be good to update as well. Release 2025.12.8.212 · FashionFreedom/Seamly2D · GitHub
It works again!! Huzzah!! 
Thank you for that. I shall now go forth and update my version. How often do updates roll out? Just so I know to check for them in future. 
Every week on Mon @ 1:30 UTC time. Usually there’s some new changes / fixes every, but I’ve been under the weather the last few weeks so there’s nothing new the last few weeks. 
You can always “Check for Updates” throught the app via the Help->About memu:
BTW… for now I would avoid using the Union tool if the pieces have any Internal Paths. The 2 don’t play well with one another, and the Union Tool needs to be re-written.
Ok great, I’ll keep and eye on the updates henceforth, and steer clear of union tools. Thanks for the tip
