FAQ
Are your CAD DXF files compatible with industrial cutting systems?
Yes! I export using standard industry formats (DXF-AAMA and DXF-ASTM) along with .RUL grading files. They load seamlessly into major apparel systems including Lectra, Optitex, Gerber, and automated CNC cutters.
What is a pattern marker layout, and do I need one?
A marker layout is the calculated arrangement of all graded pattern pieces across a set fabric width. It optimizes yield to minimize fabric wastage during cutting, which saves you significant material costs during factory production runs.
Can I request specific size grading rules for my target market?
Yes. You can provide your brand's specific measurement increment rules (e.g., $+2\text{ cm}$ at bust/hip, $+1.5\text{ cm}$ at length), or I can apply standard international size tables tailored to your target region (US, UK, EU, ASIA).
How do you handle complex design elements like seam allowances and notches?
Every delivered pattern piece includes precise seam allowances, grainlines, drill points, notch indicators, and piece labels clearly drafted to prevent assembly errors on the factory floor.
What is the difference between A0 PDF and tiled A4/US Letter PDF?
A0 PDF is a full-scale continuous sheet designed for wide-format commercial plotters or print shops. Tiled A4 / US Letter splits the pattern across standard home printer pages that can be taped together for immediate prototype sampling.
Can you digitize physical paper patterns or old samples into CAD files?
Yes. If you have existing paper patterns or physical sample garments, you can send detailed photos with scale measurements or flatbed scans, and I will convert them into vector CAD files.
