PatternMaker and CrossOver Mac

CrossOver Certified

Installing PatternMaker with CrossOver Mac is a two-step process; first, you install CrossOver Mac, and then you install PatternMaker using CrossOver’s compatibility tools. Important: CrossOver Mac requires an Intel-based Mac in order to function. Older model Power-PC Macs (G3, G4, etc.) will not be able to run CrossOver, and hence cannot run PatternMaker.

Please follow these instructions to install both CrossOver Mac and PatternMaker:

  In your Mac finder, open up the PatternMaker CD. In the “Mac” directory, find the CrossOver .dmg file.

Drag the .dmg file into your Applications folder on your Mac.

CrossOver will install.

 

 

Once CrossOver is installed, run CrossOver by clicking on the CrossOver icon on your dock, or running it from your Applications start menu.

Select Configure>Install Software

 

The CrossOver Software Installer window will appear.

 

Click the “Install Unsupported Software” button

 

CrossOver will warn you that you’re installing unsupported software.

 

CrossOver will then ask you whether you want to install into a new or existing bottle. Pick New bottle. (A bottle, by the way, is just a container for PatternMaker and the virtual Windows environment that will run PatternMaker)

 

Give the bottle a name (“New Bottle”, “PatternMaker”, whatever you desire).

 

CrossOver creates the bottle

 

Select where the Windows installer file lives. (Either your CD or where you downloaded the program.)
This option should be highlighted by default.

 

Click the Install button.  PatternMaker will install.
