A few features

*’Interactive what you see is what you get”

Style development: Line colours:The default colours help you to recognise the purpose of each line; however you have the freedom to re-colour lines into groups any way you wish.

Stab-points:There are 5 ways of creating and positioning stab points: you are in control! Mocassins, eyelets, 2 and 1’punching’ - and the rest - all need stab points!

Part defining:Un-folded’ lines mean you define the shape as it really is, and an automatic Fill’ routine confirms the shape.

On-screen notes:Notes - Descriptions’- can be typed on-screen and attached to patterns, or to individual parts. It 뭩 a valuable style development tool.

Directories:Work - pattern files - can be kept in seperate Directories’ according to any grouping you need, for example by user, by season, by gender or by customer.

The professional pattern engineering system - to save time and money

Grading: Applying the ‘rade’The assignment’ of the grading instructions is visual, and easily reviewed.

Grading increments - availability:You pre-define files for children’s work, mens or womens work, irregular grading, 4-size’ grading, in fact whatever you need, attach a description, and save it. Now you can select the increment file at will.

Default grading:Simple’s traight’ grading is achieved effortlessly, and almost instantly.You have the option of arithmetic or geometric grading.

Un-limited screen display:Any number of parts may be graded to any number of sizes, and viewed on-screen together: and aligned at any point, and measured!

Transfer to the cutting module:Like default grading - it’s effortless and almost instant: the grading quality completely eliminates the time and effort required to edit graded parts!

Miscellaneous: A pattern assessment program is included for the pattern engineer to use.

Patterns can be output to publishing and drawing software programs.

There are just 3 levels of menu: the menu path is always displayed, so the menu system is really clear and friendly. Users become productive fast!

All grading instructions are saved - and archived - with pattern files.

Comprehensive archiving and retrieval menus are provided.
