I do all my pattern design, grading, alterations, and made-to-measure on this platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or rather, I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I joined Hickey Freeman they were in the process of doing a very significant upgrade of their own CAD software, from a company called Lectra (it&#8217;s actually former investronica software, but they were bought by Lectra). In a way it was fortunate timing because everybody had to be retrained on the new version they are installing because they jumped four versions. Lots of new functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for me, who has never seen this platform before, it&#8217;s like unlearning how to ride a bike and trying to learn how to do it upside down and backwards. Blindfolded. It has some great functionality built in but it&#8217;s just killing me trying to learn it in the very short period of time that the trainer is here from Spain. One great thing is that I have it installed on a laptop so I can bring it home and work in my pajamas. I could never do that before so this weekend is all about practicing with this new software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/inves.png?resize=1024%2C574&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-529\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAD software can be pretty complex.
