Can someone who uses Rapid REsizer give me some guidelines on using it...I have a jpg file saved and want to size it to fit into a 11x14 frame and print the color in red, just easier to see the lines...but can't seem to get it to work...doesn't seem to keep the proportions correctly....tks in advance...Dennis

Hello Dennis,
First, open your pattern in Rapid Resizer.
Next, select "Edit" from the top menu area, then select Tint Red, answer the question "Yes" and all lines should be red.
Then type in your height of 11, making sure your proportional box is checked, and the width will be calucuted automatically based on the size of the pattern that you imported. you can size the "box" around the pattern by dragging the dashed lines.
Hope this helps, it is much easier to do than to explain..."Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

BWF hit the nail right on the head. It is a very simple program to use, (or else I wouldn't be using it) Maybe is you told use what problem you are having it would help more.Chuck D

Does rapidresizer work with PDFs or just regular image files? I'd just be a bit afraid to lose clarity with a regular file.

My problem is in the resize, I try to put in the height & width of the pattern, 11x14, but it sounds like I only need to enter one size and it will resize from there to keep it in proportion, is that right?....DennisComment

So let me make sure I got this right. I can get the program, scan a Zaffino pattern onto PC and use the program to enlarge it to a 16x20 pattern that will print out in multiple sheets that is marked so all I have to do is tape them up and go to it? I have numerous Zaffino patterns that are I can only enlarge to 11x17 at most with copier and can only frame at 14x18. There are several that I want to do and frame as a 16x20 because I think they would look better and be more eye catching.
Do I have this right?Confuscious says, "The cautious seldom err".

That's correct Capt. I've used Rapid Resizer to print patterns at 16 X 20 (and larger).
MS Publisher will do the same thing in poster mode (print any size you want on multiple sheets).Kevin

Just tried again with the program and I remember why I ditched it. It printed the wrong way.
I see my pattern full size and I enter the size and it prints it sideways so I only get 1/4 of a page.
Something is wrong if everybody else likes it. I will flush it again and look for something else.

Don't know what to tell you Dragon, it works like a dream for me."Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

Dragon, this may be a foolish question - did you check your printing preferences for page orientation and pages to print? Reason I mention this is printers have preference settings and sometimes I forget to reset mine after doing a special print job such as only 1 page of 3. The next time I print something else only one page prints. Then with a slap upside my head I remembered - need to change the setting.

Reply to Testing this blower motorby RolfWithout the complete schematic it is hard to know what is correct.
That said, it is a multispeed blower that obviously has a controller board. That board varies the power to the motor. By doing what you did you bypassed that. You put power across the low and high windings. If any thing connecting...-

Reply to Testing this blower motorby evilbadgerIf he connected to red and black and the motor spun wouldn't that indicate the motor is grounded? Without connecting the white the circuit isn't complete and the motor should not spin.

Reply to Testing this blower motorby cwmageeThe reason for the smoke is incorrect wiring, posible melted insulation between motor windings and motor frame.
You mentioned connecting power to the red & and black wire. Did you do anything with White wire? Per the lable on the motor the black wire is high the Red is low. White common...-
