How you start your design is up to you.....

You can start from a standard block and insert your own free hand design interactively on the screen. This provides the flexibility to include your own design flair knowing that it will conform to standard body measurements.

Or you can input your existing patterns by digitizing (this can be correctly scaled or can be any convenient size) then by adding just a few basic measurements Fashion CAD will automatically scale it for you - or grade to any other size.

Or you can scan patterns from an original source (Or use a high resolution digital camera and photograph your pattern) and use the resulting image as an underlay to insert your real lines and curves over the top of the image pixel "lines" on the screen.

Insert the Fashion CAD "control points" at the end of your "key" lines/curves. Then using the grading module you insert your required measurements and your pattern design will become the size that you want.

You determine your design shape - just like doing it by hand - BUT you can then utilise the full power of Fashion CAD for the following phases of your pattern making process.

Download the audio visual "movie" of a live pattern design session. ( Please remember that these only show processes on a simple pattern piece which is to achieve reasonable file sizes and hence to keep the download time as short as possible.)
