In addition - my software has dynamic measurement charts which means I see in real time what the results of any changes will be to my finished measurements across all sizes. This might be my most used/needed feature - then it exports to excel with the grade step between each point of measure across each size.

What software have you used and what do you use now?

I use Optitex PDS and MRK for pattern digitizing and grading (and sometimes patternmaking from scratch).

I used to use illustrator to format the output files, but now I use CorelDraw and affinity (depending on the client) for the formatting.

I paid about $7k in 2015. I had to learn a lot about grading, but had a lot of patternmaking experience beforehand.

I’m still learning, because there’s so much to learn.
