Development Of AutoCAD Software For Garment Structure Design

Along with mechanization and intelligentize of production deepened, more and more new equipments and technics developed, and methods of costume production were innovated greatly. Within all these developments, the use of costume CAD system plays a very important role.From 1970' when the first set of costume CAD was used formally to now, the design of handcraft and the style of plate making which used in industry of costume originally were substituted with the product style of CAD. Because of the wide market of costume, the software developers who are capable provided costume CAD software with own brand, and the appearances of different styles costume CAD software were affluent in the market very much. As the same time of more choices, the question about uncurrency of every systems was brought out. Because every costume CAD system all were wanted to keep their particularity, whether in operation styles or file formats, great trouble was brought to users. On the other hand, the functions of AutoCAD, the admiral software of plane CAD, also satisfied drawing requirement of costume structure, and the file saving style of AutoCAD was transformed to different software's agency file style. So we can resolve the currency question of professional costume CAD with introducing AutoCAD into costume CAD, and at the same time we can enrich the choices of costume CAD.Be considerd of currency CAD software, the maximal advantage of it was that it can be customized the work style, and not simple change of interface. All these hang on second exploitation which was advocated by AutoCAD. Many industries had corresponding special AutoCAD, and these products of second exploitation not only shortened special operation and distance of currency software, but also contributed on spreading of AutoCAD. So we can't leave the products of second exploitation if we want to spread AutoCAD in costume industry. This article stydies which was discussed on the front, and empolders a costume structure CAD which not only closes to the operate habit of costume personnel, but also has representative currency. With this we can solve the bottle-neck question of the costume CAD's teaching, application and extending.
