WireFrame Editing

[Mary]

Someone within the last couple weeks made a comment about wireframe editing and now I can't find it. I seem to remember that the person said to be careful when converting a digitized design into wireframe and editing. Have I misunderstood the comment? If not, can you elaborate? I sub-out my digitizing to a company that uses a different software than Pro+ and I usually convert it to wireframe so I can change the density, etc...when necessary.
Thank You.

When you open your design, you will see all of the elememts on the right hand side. Right click on any element and you will get a pop up window. One of the options is to convert to wireframe.

Before you do this, I would copy the orignal element and put in a color change so that if you really mess up, you can just delete all of the wireframe elements and go back to the condensed element. Make sense???

When you convert an element to wireframe, you could get between 2 and 200 wireframe elemements that consist of lines, fills, columns, .... and who knows else. Be prepared.

I normally test sew a design as is. Then I see what I want to change and go into the wireframe editing mode and adjust/add/change/remove what I want and test sew again.

Hope that answers your question.

Thank you so much for your reply. I was doing everything that you mentioned, except I wasn't saving the original design before I converted it to wireframe. I'm glad though, that I was doing everything else correctly!
