PatternMaker Grading Studio

PatternMaker Grading Studio is a CAD system for the professional garment maker, designer, or costumer. It includes all of the features of the Professional Studio (Formerly Home Studio) along with Grading and Digitizing capabilities.

Work is quicker than with other CAD systems because PatternMaker's features are designed specifically for pattern making. Because the commands are designed to work the way you work on paper, you won't have to relearn anything. For instance, to cut a piece, you draw a line to show the path of the scissors, then select the Cut command.

PatternMaker Grading Studio is based on the same CAD system as the Professional Studio.
You get all the features of that version plus:

Grading
Give PatternMaker a grading rule and it will make a nest of pieces for you. The grading rule for each point is shown by an arrow at that point, showing where the point grades to. Put arrows on as many or as few points as you want to. This is easy to understand, easy to modify, and works the way professional graders are used to working. After you input a grading rule, you can save it in a file and apply it to any other pattern. Making a nest takes seconds--now you can be your own grading service.

Digitizers
Use a digitizing tablet to "trace" paper patterns into the computer. Copy your slopers into the computer--a whole drawer of tagboard slopers will fit on one floppy disk. Trace small-scale patterns from books or magazines, then use the "Expand" command to make them full-size.

A digitizing tablet is a tablet-like device with its own mouse. Put a paper pattern on the digitizing tablet and draw it into the computer by moving the mouse over the pattern. Common digitizers range in size from 12" x 12" to 60" x 44", and in price from approximately $400.00 to $3000.00.

Symbol Libraries
Create standard symbols, save them in a library file, and read them into your patterns. Make your own symbols to supplement the basic library that is supplied. You are not limited to sewing symbols--anything that you can draw can be saved as a symbol. Possibilities: notch marks, punch marks, company logos, copyright notices, standard collars and cuffs, and more.

Printing/Plotting Your Patterns
All PatternMaker versions work automatically with any Windows-driven printing or plotting device. This means you can produce pages up to 48" wide. While Windows itself does not support printing devices wider than 48", a manufacturer can provide its own printer drivers for a specific printer or plotter.
