Pattern Design | DesignCad

The Pattern Design Screen allows you to manage pattern creation, editing and grading within a single, fast and controlled workflow. Based on traditional manual pattern making logic, it is easy for pattern makers to learn and extremely practical for everyday use.

Pattern Creation

Create patterns from scratch, quickly import them with Fotodijit, or easily bring patterns from other systems using the DXF format.

Pattern Editing

Manage piece editing, dart and pleat operations, seam properties and revisions quickly and with full control using practical tools.

Size Grading

Manage size sets flexibly, quickly and with full control using proportional and non-proportional grading methods.

Pattern Editing and Cutting

More Speed and Control in Your Workflow

Prepare your patterns faster and manage the cutting process with full control using powerful editing tools. Work from a single screen to easily create model variations and accelerate your design workflow.

• Call pieces individually, in bulk or by fabric
• Edit and duplicate pieces independently
• Create new pieces from internal shapes
• Parallel cuts for facings and details
• Fast dart and pleat applications
• Join and rotate from any reference point

Precision Measurement and Seam

Control

Measure, compare and prepare your patterns for production faster and with greater accuracy. Manage technical values from a single screen to speed up revisions and maintain full control.

• Accurate measurement on straight and curved lines
• Fast measurement comparison and calculations
• Technical data management with office integration
• Point-based seam allowance definition
• Flexible seam folding settings at corners

Smart Grading and Size

Management

Manage your grading process faster, more flexibly and with full control. Work easily with different size structures and broken size sets to prepare production-ready patterns faster.

• Fast and highly accurate proportional grading
• Flexible workflow for broken size sets
• Full control with manual adjustments
• Move and reuse grading areas
• Practical workflows with automatic areas
• Copy and automatically transfer grading data
• Convert graded pieces into separate sizes
