After finalizing my bowl, I print out plan. The computer locks up and I have to restart Segment Pro to go again.
What needs to be done so I don't lose my design.
Thanks
 
Sorry to hear you are having pc problems. I have not had the issue of SP causing the pc to lock up when printing.

What I would suggest is for you to do a "Save Plan" from the Bowl setting window before trying to do any printing.

The Summary is simply a GridView which means that it is printable but all I’m able to do is pass it off to the Windows Operating System and they handle the printing and communications with the printer. Because I can’t give you any print options, I added and Export feature instead and when you click Export, your data will be opened in Excel or other spreadsheet program on your computer. If you don’t have one, do a Google search for free PC spreadsheet and you’ll find several.

Once you open your data in the spreadsheet, you can modify it however you want and use the power of commercial software to interact with your printer.

I always do this with any printing I need from Segment PRO because I don’t need or want most of the columns that I don’t need in the shop. I then make the font large enough that I can tack it to my bulletin board and see it from across the shop.

I have a tutorial that shows this. Click the link below and watch the first tutorial. You’ll want to watch all five of them at this link but the first addresses your issue.

Beginner's Project - Open Segment Christmas Ornament

I've done a poor job at providing content for the segmenter that is just getting started with open segment turnings. So with Christmas fast approaching, I thought this would be a good time to correct that with a project that is seasonally appropriate. I've made a five-part tutorial that shows...
