Check Current Solution

Once pieces have been placed on the marker, you can use this option to test your solution. The Check Current Solution command allows you to check for complete sets/bundles, non complete sets/bundles or overlapping pieces. It also enables you to see if you have missed any pieces from a complete sets/bundles, how many total sets/bundles of one file were ordered, how many complete sets/bundles are currently placed on the marker, and it gives you an indication of the total number of pieces used to create one set/bundle.

Click on the 'Flash complete bundles' or 'Flash uncompleted' bundles to view the flashing mark that will indicate the complete or the uncompleted sets.
