Textile Pattern CAD

textile cad design software

Textile CAD design software for pattern office work

A textile CAD design software workflow needs more than a drawing canvas. It needs pattern documents, pieces, checks, exports and a clear handoff between the pattern maker and the atelier.

Current capabilities

Browser-based CAD canvas with millimeter rulers.

Piece metadata, nomenclature and atelier checks.

Undo, redo, zoom, pan and fit controls for drafting review.

Public feature pages and localized product documentation.

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

Textile Pattern CAD is being built as a focused textile CAD design software layer for pattern offices, not as a full PLM, ERP or industrial marker-making suite.

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.

Questions

What does Textile Pattern CAD cover today?

It covers online pattern documents, 2D drawing, pieces, measurements, workshop checks and several export formats.

Is this suitable for small apparel businesses?

Yes. The current scope is intentionally focused on independent pattern makers, small brands and workshops.

Does it include marker making?

No. Marker making is not part of the current version; the focus is reliable pattern drafting and handoff files.
