Seamly will only open .val files ver 0.6.1 or earlier. Later versions would have been made in Valentina and are not compatible wih Seamly. If you post the patterns (or send them to me privately via PM) I can tell you whether this is case… or if it’s some other issue.

it was one of the leotard patterns you uploaded here for example if that might help

Yeah… that was a really old Valentina era pattern I did showing how I could digitize an existing pattern. There’s probably some things I’d do different now.

Not sure why it’s not converting the “passmark” to “notch”, but I updated the file:
