I want to create designer patterns with my own flowers and shapes etc so they fill the page evenly but not in uniformed lines
I think I will need a Macro for this?
Never had any experience with Macros......are they easy to install and use. Do they affect the software in any way like slow it down. Can anyonne recommend a good one for creating patterns in X5
Yes, Symmetrical 2 is a commercial macro but helps create patterns.
It can now create seamless ones too.

Macros, once installed, can be used at anytime.
What you need to do is create an icon on your workspace to easily launch it.
Also, you can use the Macro Manager. (Tools > Macros > Macro Manager (SHIFT+ALT+F11) )
Here's an instructional video found on MAcroMonster.com on how to install, Create a shortcut. and use macros.
I am confused as it is telling me I have one more launch left for the trial but I bought it this morning for $19.95...... have I not installed it correctly?

Jeff sends instuctions for how to do it.

I'm not sure about this. Did you input your activation code in the macro?
Some macros are like that, they need to be activated with an Activation Code sent to your email address from the Developer.
Have you followed the instruction on activation?
If not, you should contact Jeff directly, seeing that he is the Author.
Some instructions came with it which I thought I followed ok
I dragged an icon onto the tool bar and when I launched it it said I had 4 out of 5 launches left .......because I have been on it a few times today and accidently deleted the dialogue box a couple of times it now says I have one launch left.
EDITED You are right the Macro is not active........I have found where to put the activation Key but as yet not recieved any email with the code....so I have emailed Jeff
