Raft of updates for Lectra technology
19/04/2013
“The devil is in the detail,” said Anastasia Charbin, fashion marketing director at Lectra. “Product development teams need to have accurate information from the early stages. The more precise the patterns are, the closer to the designer’s creative ideas the final result will be.”
Modaris V7R2 includes several improvements that streamline pattern development and offer options for increased speed, flexibility and control.
It includes a new tool for creating pleats: the unfolded pieces are automatically calculated, reducing pattern errors by a factor of three, according to the company, and minimising fabric costs.
Lectra said designers will be able to enrich patterns with technical details and apply notes directly to pattern pieces. Users now have the option of combining elements from different patterns to create new styles and there are new pattern-drafting options such as rounded edges and corners, mitered corners, folds and hems, new geometry tools and notches.
