Why Upgrade to Pro?

1. No More Taping Pages: Wide-Format A0 Plotter

Taping dozens of printed A4 sheets together is slow, tedious, and risks dimensional drift. Pro exports monolithic wide-format sheets (A0, A1, A2, A3) ready for any local copy shop or roll plotter with zero assembly.

2. Industry CAD Ecosystem (DXF Export)

Export clean DXF geometry directly compatible with Gerber, Lectra, Optitex, Clo3D, Marvelous Designer, and standard CAD software, preserving notches, seam allowances, and grainlines.

3. Marker Layout & Fabric Optimization

Pick your roll width (e.g. 140 cm, 150 cm). The layout engine packs all pattern pieces along the straight grain, calculating linear consumption and fabric utilization to minimize expensive textile waste.

4. Multi-Size Grading & Smart Linings

Generate nested sizing runs across standard size ladders with a single click. In addition, derive true lining pattern pieces featuring movement pleats and proper seam clearances automatically from the shell.

5. Production-Ready Tech Packs

Export comprehensive PDF and DOCX technical specification sheets containing CAD illustrations, piece lists, grading tables, and sewing operation sequences for manufacturing ateliers.
