We got talked through producing patterns on CAD CAM digitizing system. Fiona informed us that although it is a pattern cutting system, you still need to be able to know how to produce patterns on a table to be able to produce patterns digitally.
How to digitise.
Firstly you need to go to Start then go on Lectra --> digitizer 2.1C3 --> (serial port) com1 --> click ok --> click off the box --> start --> programs --> Lectra --> modaris (name of the digitizing system) --> config --> change to ico text.
Setting up the model...
Firstly you need to go to file --> new --> make the model name to what you are digitizing --> sheet --> new sheet -->F1 --> Digit ( 2 points for horizontal axis).
-Always have the top of your pattern facing the left.
-Always use masking tape so it does not spoil the bed. Blu tac and glue will damage the bed.
The control points you need to know to be able to produce the patterns are...
-Corner point is 2
-Curce is C
-Straight of grain is A
-Drill hole is 3
-Notch hole is 6
When you first start producing the pattern you need to put the straight of grain in first, then you need to start from the top left point and go around putting in notches as you come to them and finishing the darts which you will use the drill holes for. When you have finished you need to press FF and then 8 on the computer keyboard. You are then able to save the pattern and print it off if nessecery.
