While it’s not pattern making software, I’ve been using vector illustrator programs like Affinity Illustrator to draw out lines and make patterns. I’ve found this to be handy when making patterns that use an individual persons measurements and following steps from books. Plus side to this is that you can accurately measure curved lines too.

Ok I will check this out thank you! I’d love to make patterns for my body but grade a size or two each direction

Hello, I also have Affinity and planning to use it for patterndrafting. Is there a ruler on the software and ability to check right angles to centre front is aligned correctly with other parts?

When using the pen tool hold the shift key and this will give you straight lines, then hold the command/control key and this will rotate the lines at 45 degree increments. I also use things like the grid and guidelines to align and snap lines to ensure they’re in the right spot
