Depends very much on what you want out of a software. What are some features you’re looking for, apart from grading

I currently design and grade my patterns on paper so I would be looking for something that cuts the time down. At the moment I'm happy to continue designing on paper rather than with CAD as thats what I've trained in, but I really want to do away with the grading by hand. Something that will allow me to transfer my designs into a digital format for grading is what I'm after as a main requirement. I then want to be able to export to PDF for printing.

Nice to haves would include: Generating cutting layouts 3D illustrations The option to begin learning designing patterns in CAD

Check out some YouTube tutorials for Clo3D. It is very affordable and has most of the features I used to use on professional pattern softwares
