Pre-export checklist

Name the pattern and fill in the style code, season and base size.

Check that each piece has fabric, cutting quantity and seam allowance.

Add grainlines, notches and main measurements before workshop handoff.

Export a technical sheet, A4 print plan or clean SVG/PNG file depending on the need.

Positioning

This is not a full industrial suite like Lectra or Gerber. It is a focused online tool for small teams that need a lighter CAD pattern maker for drafting, review and file exchange.

Current limits

  • Point-delta grading exists as a first version, but it is not a full automatic industrial grading engine yet.
  • The DXF export is a workshop verification base and must be validated before industrial use.
  • Mobile is designed for reviewing patterns, not full drafting.
  • Critical production files still need review by a pattern maker.

Does it run in the browser?

Yes. Textile Pattern CAD runs online in a web browser, with local document storage and optional cloud synchronization when configured.

Is it a replacement for industrial CAD suites?
