I have a shortcut icon to the PCStitch Pattern Viewer but when I click on it nothing pulls up. |

Pattern Viewer does open most patterns -- especially the free ones you can still find all over the web so long as they were created with PCStitch 8 or earlier.
I have no idea why it was included in a download. Since it can't edit the file, it's really of no use if you have PCStitch.

interesting I never had it before until I upgraded to Pcstitch 11, and it download both the 11 and he pattern viewer so strange. Why would it provide a software with 11 that was not current |

Pattern Viewer cannot modify any pattern. It is just that - a pattern viewer. I don't think it's been updated since PCStitch 8. If that's the case, it's possible that the patterns you are trying to view with it are just not compatible.

hmmm..I wouldn't think it was old for me because I just downloaded it in Feb 2025. I had to get a new laptop Windows11, and my old PCStitch10 wasn't working well, so I just upgraded to the PCStitch 11 in Feb 2025 and that was when I got the Pattern Viewer as well. But really wasn't sure what the pattern veiwer was for, as before I never used anything like that with the old version of PCStitch, so this was first time clicking on it, since I could view my saved patterns in 11, I clicked on the viewer and got nothing to pull up. I guess maybe I need to uninstall both of them and reinstall. Thanks |

The pattern viewer is very very very old. It may not work under the newer operating systems anymore.
If you want to try, I suggest to uninstall and then re-install the software.
Note - I've had two different products (not PCStitch) where the .exe file for the product was removed during a windows update. No one has ever been able to tell me what happened.
