Look at every chart page tiled together and confirm that Markup R-XP has detected the grid lines correctly on each one. If anything is missing or wrong, tap that page to open it for adjustment.

What this step is for

 

Before Markup R-XP can do anything useful with your chart - count stitches, recognise symbols, line pages up - it needs to know exactly where the grid sits on every page. The previous step laid the pages out; this step is your chance to confirm that the grid lines were correctly detected within each page.

The wizard shows every chart page tiled together, the same way they will sit in the finished project. Most pages will already be set up correctly because Markup R-XP detects the grid automatically when the project is created. This page is mainly a check.

 

If any page is missing a grid or its grid was detected in the wrong place, you can tap that page to open it in the corner editor. You can also drop in here at any time during the wizard if you spot a grid problem and want to fix it before moving on.

The screen at a glance

 

The Review Grids screen shows every chart page tiled together with detected grid lines drawn over each one. A floating chip of view controls sits on the left edge and Back / Next buttons sit at the bottom.
Figure 1. The Review Grids screen. (1) Each tile is one chart page, displayed in its layout position with the detected grid drawn on top. (2) Page headers show the page number and the row / column cell counts above each tile. (3) The floating chip on the left edge contains the view toggles. (4) The Back button returns to the previous step. (5) The Next button moves on to the next step.

The floating chip

 

The floating chip on the left edge of the panel gives you three quick view controls.

(2) The grid icon toggles between the full-page view (the whole PDF page visible) and a grid-only view (just the chart grid, cropped tight). (3) The zoom-out icon resets the view to fit all pages on screen.

Show / hide page info

Toggles the labels above each page on and off.

Turn this off for a cleaner look when you just want to scan for visual grid problems; turn it back on when you want to read the detected cell counts.

Chart-view toggle

Switches between full-page view (every page shown at its full PDF size) and grid-only view (each page cropped to just its detected grid).

Use grid-only view to spot pages whose grid was placed in the wrong location - they will jump out as the wrong size.

Fit to view

Resets pan and zoom so every page is visible on screen at once.

Tap this if you have panned or zoomed around and want to get back to the overview.

Reviewing each page

 

The aim of this step is to check every chart page. Walk through them one at a time:

  1. Look at the grid lines on each page. They should sit cleanly on the printed grid in the PDF - corners on corners, lines on lines.
  2. Read the cell counts in each header. The row and column numbers should match what you see on the printed pattern.
  3. Pinch to zoom in on any page that looks suspect. Pan around to inspect detail; tap the fit-to-view button on the chip when you want to zoom back out.
  4. If everything looks right, tap Next. Otherwise, tap the page that needs work to open the corner editor.

Tip. A perfectly aligned grid means very little manual cleanup later when you reach the symbols step. It is worth a couple of minutes here to fix anything obviously wrong.

Fixing a page that needs work

 

Tapping a page tile opens a small jump-and-return loop into the corner editor. Markup R-XP remembers which page you tapped and brings you straight back to this overview when you are done.

  1. Tap the page tile. The wizard opens the corner editor on that specific page.
  2. Set the corners, confirm the size, and straighten the page. See Set Corners for the corner step, Confirm Size for the size check, and Straighten Chart for the rotation step.
  3. You will be returned here automatically. The Review Grids screen reopens with your fixed page now showing the correct grid.

Note. The corner editor only changes the page you tapped. The other pages keep their existing grids untouched, so you can fix problems one page at a time without disturbing the rest.

Moving to the next step

 

When every page has a clean grid, tap Next in the bottom-right corner. What happens next depends on your project:

  • If your chart spans more than one page you will move on to the Set Overlap step, where you tell Markup R-XP how the chart pages tile together.
  • If your chart is a single page, the wizard skips overlap and goes straight to the symbols setup.

Heads up. If any page has no detected grid at all, Markup R-XP will refuse to move on and show a toast at the bottom of the screen: “Page N has no grid - tap it to set corners and confirm size before continuing”. Tap the offending page and run through the corner editor before trying Next again.

A toast at the bottom of the Review Grids screen warning that a particular page has no grid and must be set up before continuing.

Tips and common questions

Here are answers to the most common questions about reviewing grids.

Q: What should a correctly-detected grid look like?

Answer: The drawn grid lines should sit directly on top of the printed grid lines in the PDF.

Corner points should land on actual corners, every horizontal line should follow a printed row line, and every vertical line should follow a printed column line. The cell counts in the page header should match the row and column labels printed on the chart.

Q: One of my pages has a grid but it is in the wrong place. What should I do?

Answer: Tap the page to open the corner editor and reposition the corners.

The wizard will walk you through corners, size and straightening. When you finish you will land back on this screen with the new grid in place.

Q: What is the difference between full-page view and grid-only view?

Answer: Full-page view shows the whole PDF page including any margins, titles or labels; grid-only view crops each page tight to just the detected grid.

Full-page view is useful when you want to see where the grid sits within the original page. Grid-only view is useful for spotting pages whose grid was detected in the wrong location - those pages will look the wrong size compared to their neighbours.

Q: I tapped a page by accident. How do I cancel without changing anything?

Answer: Run through the corner steps without making any changes and tap Next on each one.

The corner editor only saves changes when you confirm them step by step, so if you tap straight through with no edits, you will land back on this screen with the page exactly as it was.

Q: I came here from a later step in the wizard to fix a problem. Will I lose my work in those later steps?

Answer: No - Markup R-XP keeps the work you have already done in later steps and only refreshes the things that depend on the page you change.

What's next?

 

After every page has a clean grid, the next step depends on your chart.

If your chart has more than one page, the wizard moves on to Set Overlap, where you tell Markup R-XP how the chart pages tile together so it can stitch them into one continuous chart.

If your chart is a single page, the wizard skips straight to the symbols setup so you can start identifying every stitch symbol used in the pattern.
