Pattern Engineering Model. Tracer Pattern. Data Pattern. Stream Shoe. Cost Shoe. Design Profile Pattern Engineering Stitch. Tec Leather Cutting Pattern. Cut Pilot / Ortho. Tec 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.
