Auto CAD DXF Three Common Mistakes That People Make When Converting Patterns to DXF-AAMA File Format
DXF-AAMA is a file format developed by the American Apparel
Manufacturers Association in an attempt to solve the difficulties of
using DXF files. Now when talking about converting a pattern into a DXF
(Drawing exchange Format. ) you will find that your converted pattern
does not contains neither scale or units nor usually any method of
reliably describing what needs to be cut, drawn, drilled or notched in
your pattern file however, this file is the most commonly used format
for exchange of drawing files. Listed below, are three of the most
commonly made mistakes made by people not software when trying to
convert a pattern into this type of file.
1rst Problem: Thinking that your pattern will be a print file and not a cut file
Thinking that your converted DXF CAD pattern file will be kept in a computer system for further modifications is a common mistake. Most of the time, your converted file pattern will be neither needed nor wanted. The purpose of the document is to generate tool paths for a machine. So keep that in mind when formatting and exporting. In most cases nobody will need to open the drawing in a CAD program, so eliminate what is not essential. Think about what is needed in a drawing, format and export accordingly.
2rd problem: Not making the outline of your pattern into one closed polyline creating nesting problems.
In computer graphics a polygonal chain is called a polyline and is often used to approximate curved paths. Not closing your pattern outline will create problems when nesting your pattern and processing your DXF file.
3rd problem: Including objects in a drawing that are unnecessary.
Information such as Fabric type, sewing details, pattern codes, designer comments etc.. They all should not be included in your pattern as these will obstruct the conversion process. Think of a way to hide or make invisible these text blocks put a reference layer or delete all information before exporting to DXF.
To conclude, three of the most common AAMA DXF pattern conversion mistakes are done by people and not by software. Converting a pattern into a DXF (Drawing exchange Format.) will allow other CAD programs to read and import your digital pattern into tangent or any other nesting and plotting programs. Some information lost in the conversion process include: No available information to find if your pattern has a scale or units, notching information, drill marks etc..Not making the outline of your pattern into one close polyline and including non essential objects like text blocks all around a pattern will all contribute to badly formatted DXF files.

How to Print Patterns: Five Easy Pattern Printing Steps That Save You Thousands of Dollars
Many times, apparel clothing designers and garment manufacturing companies have the need to outsource pattern plotting services due to not having a fast plotter to print all of their designs or simply because their machine broke down. Having a plotter is highly costly due to the maintenance service repairs required periodically to maintain it running. Listed below are five easy pattern printing steps that can save you money and all your headaches and costly repairs of a state of the art plotting machine.
1rst Step: Do not over spend money in fixing or buying a new plotter.
If you are not a company that provides just plotting services and you only plot a couple of markers per week or month then you do not need to invest in a state of the art machine. These printing machines could cost in the 15 to 30 thousands of dollars if not more. So be wise and spend money only for every marker or copies of you model that you might need.
2nd. Step: organize your patterns to be plot by importance.
Always organize your models that need to be plot out and do not send any unnecessary markers to print as that will cost you money and chances are that you will not use that marker in a near future due to any new pattern adjustment that you made or simply because your width of your new fabric is wider than the one of your plotted marker.
3rd Step: Plot all your markers at one time.
Plan in advance when printing all your clothing patterns as this could save you money in plotting services. For instance if the regular prize to plot a marker is 40 dollar per marker and if you know that the following week you will need at least 4 more markers of the same marker then plot them all at one time. By working this manner you will usually save the person time in preparing the marker and the more paper yardage your marker has the cheaper it will be meaning instead of paying 10 dollars per yard assuming you have a 4 yards marker and you pay 40 dollars minimum charge you could be paying 8 dollars or less per every single yard plotted.
4th Step: send all your patterns electronically.
Do not spend time and gasoline taking your flash drive or hard drive to a pattern printing service. E-mail them your patterns files to the your plotting service provider this will speed the process and they can either ship you all your patterns or markers in a box all folded flat or you can send your cutting service man to pick all your plotted patterns.
5th Step: Combine multiple markers into a single file marker.
By combining or adding multiple markers into one single marker file you will save some money by not having to pay a minimum printing charge. Providing multiple markers in different files is a time consuming process for the printing service company and material wise they waist paper advancing the machine every time they print and cut a marker therefore seeing a bill for one or two thousand dollars for printing services is not a surprise especially if you have 20 markers with 20 yards each that is about 400 yards of paper equal to 4 rolls of 100 yards consumption plus printing charges 400 yards of paper printing times 5 dollars per yard if no more added all together and you end up with a bill for 2000 dollars if not more.
In summation, printing patterns can be expensive but having to pay for repairs and maintenance of a state of the art plotting machine is extremely more expensive. Over all, you will save thousands of dollars by following these five simply printing pattern steps pay just for what you need only and do not overspend your money by buying a printing factory if you will only print a couple of patterns per week or in a month.

Apparel Pattern makers are a true asset to any company who decides to manufacture a design especially when it comes to fit and correct styling of the design. Not all pattern makers have the same skills to create all designs we all know of as each design has its own technicalities and construction problems.
Pattern Makers are true architects’ when it comes to pattern drafting. Knowing how to create a foundation and how to trace balance lines for a particular design is a key factor for what is to come after a design has been approved for production. How a garment fits or molds around a person’s body is very important as it will dictate whether or not that design is wearable and whether or not the design will sale due to its fit and hanger appeal.
Pattern Makers who specialize in a particular design or market will have the best knowledge about the designs he or she is creating and a good understanding of how the designs should be drafted according to the company’s specifications or clients they are working for. How Pattern Makers create their own patterns and the style of drafting a pattern is quite impressive as each individual pattern maker has a unique manner or style for tracing and drafting a pattern and a unique approach to solving fitting problems for a particular design.
A good pattern maker is always alert to all contributing factors that affect the fit of a garment and the way a garment fits after a pattern has already been created, cut and sewn. Pattern makers work hand to hand with fashion models who try on the designs that pattern makers make and provide to pattern maker with valuable feed back as to how a design fits and whether or not the design needs to be readjusted and re cut for a second or third final fit prior to releasing the pattern for production.
In summation, Pattern makers are genuine artist of fashion. Each pattern maker has a unique way of drafting a particular design and the way in which a pattern maker drafts a pattern is a key factor for well fitting garments after a pattern has been released for production. Pattern makers that specialize in a particular market or design will have the best understanding and knowledge about how to draft a pattern since they already familiar with all the technicalities and problems involved when creating a specific design.

Apparel Pattern Digitizing: Five Digitizing Rules to Create a Perfect Digitized Pattern Piece
The process to digitize a pattern design or style into a cad system can be very time consuming and expensive due to the point by point process that needs to be follow in order to complete the digitizing process. When digitizing a complete model for a basic design for example many rules are required before the design can take a digital pattern shape.
First rule, you need to have a hard copy or tracing of your design on paper. Paper must be flat for accurate piece digitizing and when sending out your patterns to a digitizer make sure all your pattern tracing are visible and marked with hard lines.
Second rule, Information, as grain lines and description must be recorded on every piece. You must take the time to provide all these information and write it on each pattern piece, as this information will be useful for yourself for tracking purposes in the future.
Third rule, a pattern card must be provided along with fabric description. Make sure you provide a list of all the pieces for every style you make to your digitizing house as these will serve also as a record for you and your digitizer of how many pieces where digitized and save into their computer digitizing system
Fourth rule, you must make sure that your pattern or style to be digitized in a cad digitizing system is the correct model, as they will be digitized exactly as submitted. You must know what pieces make your design and do not mix pattern pieces that do not belong to that particular style, as you will be charged for any extra piece digitized. Most pattern digitizing services have a minimum of five to ten pattern pieces minimum charge and a five to ten dollar extra charge per piece after their minimum pattern pieces have been digitized depending on size and complexity of pattern piece to be digitized.
Fifth rule, once your pattern has been entered into a computer system by a digitizer or digitizing service your pattern will not be modified, corrected or change by the digitizer as this will normally be a separate service charge to you and done by a professional pattern designer.
In addition, Apparel pattern piece digitizing is a time consuming process and can be expensive depending on the size of your pattern piece and complexity of your design. You must accurately provide to your pattern digitizer with all the necessary pattern piece information for your particular style or design and your pattern can not modified at the time of the digitizing process unless they have a professional pattern designer who can assist you with any pattern alterations or corrections and of course, you are willing to pay for that extra service provided by the design house or firm.

Apparel Marker Plotting Services: How to Save Thousands of Dollars in Pattern Plotting Services
When making a Pattern or making a marker for a given design in the apparel industry many times young designers and small start up companies can not afford the cost of a state of the art plotter due to high cost and maintenance service required periodically to maintain these digital plotters running.
Fortunately, you are not obligated to pay twenty thousand dollars for a state of the art paper-plotting machine when you can pay only for the pattern designs and marker you need to plot out. It is a lot economical to pay for plotting services and have duplicates or copies plot out for you when you need then only versus having to worry about buying parts for your plotting equipment because it got damaged with use and now you have to pay a leg and an arm to have it repair.
Online plotting services are available for many costumers at affordable prizes. Base on the length or yardage of your marker to be plot out you will pay a by yard prize or a minimum plotting charge which in comparison to paying a monthly service charge to maintain a plotter running is a very small fraction of the prize to be paid not mentioning the cost of paper for plotting which is expensive too.
In summation, paying a plotting service house will over all save you thousands of dollars in the long run. It is less expensive not to have to pay for repairs for a digital plotting machine every month and just pay for all the patterns, graded nests and markers to be plot out when you need them only.
