I like that it gives you several options to design different things depending upon what type of pattern or fabric style you want to make out of the material. The graphics look great once printed! They are easy enough to use but not so simple as to be frustrating when looking at them while designing something else. There's nothing really bad about this software - in fact, there aren't many complaints from our staff who have used it daily since we started using it (10+ years).
It works well…
Pros
Also having all kinds of materials preloaded into their database helps save time &, saves money because they can download items off various websites instead buying physical designs themselves.
The overall ease of use when creating my own patterns. Also being able to have multiple views at once makes it easy to see what's going where in terms of stitching layout. Not much to dislike really! I've been playing around with this software for quite some time now & love how flexible it can be.
We're making custom clothing that requires complex designs which are difficult to create using other programs like Solidworks or AutoCAD. This allows us to do so without having to learn any…
The ability to use AutoCAD or similar software in conjunction will make creating 3D models much easier than trying it all by hand! I like that you can easily access multiple workflows at once so if one workflow fails then others are not affected negatively; however this could be more efficient (and less error prone).
It would also help greatly when sharing projects between designers as they have different preferences/workflow which may result from using other tools such auto cad etc...
A few…
Pros
Being an easy way for everyone, with no experience necessary ,to produce professional looking designs without having any prior modelling skills is fantastic.It's great because its flexible nature makes everything else seem simple
