Error - You can't use Piece Mode yet. Please create at least one pattern piece

I get this error when I go to the Piece Mode.

“You can’t use Piece Mode yet. Please create at least one pattern piece.”

I saved both my pattern and the measure file. I can see the files.

How can I fix It?

Exactly as it says… “Please create at least one pattern piece”. A draft block is not a pattern piece. You need to select the “Add New Pattern Piece” tool:

Then you start selecting nodes (points and curves)… you need to select at least 3 points to make piece (as 2 points only make a line). A red path will be be created as you add each node. You can follow the instructions in the status bar at the bottom…

…then press Return: You will get an initial Pattern Piece Tool dialog where you can set some piece properties… press OK.

NOW… you can got to Piece mode

and finish adding details to the piece:
