InvenTex PDS constructions and modelling of patterns

COMPUTER-AIDED CREATION AND MODELLING OF TEXTILE PATTERNS

Intuitive and creative work with patterns!

InvenTex PDS is perfectly joining needs of designing and production processes. InvenTex PDS allows creation of highest quality, arbitrary type of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, underwear, swimsuits, workwear and uniforms – from the simplest to the most advanced projects. The software is perfectly suited for construction and production preparation in the fields of car upholstery, upholstered furniture, accessories and other textile products. InvenTex PDS allows extremely fast creation of new patterns and modification of existing ones thanks to highly effective modern methods of direct work utilizing a computer, eliminating ineffective, error-prone manual work with paper-made patterns. Advanced tools provide fast and easy ways to create and shape lines and outlines, reducing to the minimum the quantity of points which define contour of a pattern. Wide range of easy to use functions allowing to create darts, folds, hems and many other time-consuming and difficult to construct objects, greatly accelerates and increases creativity of the constructor. Additionally, to provide highest possible standards of patterns creating, a perfect set of tools for patterns making utilizing interactive construction grids were created. InvenTex PDS has also a perfect implementation of seams support allowing for dynamic creation of seam allowances, which are automatically adjusting their shapes to changes of forms. InvenTex PDS is equipped with very innovative tools for dynamic measurements, control and verification of shapes and grading of patterns. Interactive measurement table assures best mutual matching of patterns.

One of the most important modules for manufacturers and an integral part of InvenTex PDS is the PGS module designed for quick and perfect grading of patterns. InvenTex Furniture version is meant for the manufacturers of upholstered furniture and other fields of technical textile and it’s delivered without the PGS module, therefore it can be offered at much better price in comparison to other solutions available from different suppliers.

All other additional modules cooperating with InvenTex PDS were also completely integrated to provide best cooperation between modules, ease of use and ergonomy of work. Functions and icons for the additional modules are shown in separate tabs in the main InvenTex PDS menu (ribbon).

Modelling and construction functions

… see the possibilities and the end results!

Fullness

Effective widening of the base pattern by inserting multiple bulges

easy to use function allowing to obtain advanced and interesting patterns constructions in a very short time
just one click is enough to display window where we can choose the type, size and quantity of inserted bulges… and we’re done!!!
of course you still can cut the pattern and insert bulges one by one, but why? With modern InvenTex system at hand it’s so easy!
functions for creative, multiple widening and fitting of patterns are eliminating time-consuming manual cutting and modelling

Inserting or removing bulges

Widening or narrowing of some part of the pattern with a bulge

widening or narrowing by cutting-out part of the patterns it’s one of most common construction modifications
InvenTex PDS module provides effective and extremely intuitive tool for this kind of work
easy interface and interactive preview yet before final approval of the operation provides quick and best end result
this function is automatically modifying graded patterns in all sizes

Pleats, folds, box-pleats, pin-tucks

Inserting single or multiple pleats and similar modifications

important and frequently used construction function allowing to obtain advanced end-results in the InvenTex system quickly and easily
with one dialog window and using one easy to use „multifunction” we can make many attractive modifications
a few available methods and types of operations with specification of quantity of created pleats of folds
additionally possibility to create non-standard pleats with variable width and mutual distance
innovative functionality allowing to control pleats by closing them in order to check and adjust matching of shapes

Inserting of darts

Advanced darts inserting functions, also widened darts

creation of darts is one of most advanced functions of the system and an indication of its class and functionality
by means of an easy to use dialog window we can insert the dart in selected position on the pattern, with possibility to modify it in any time by specifying new parameters in its dialog window
it’s possible to insert narrowing dart, widening dart or internal dart, with specification if it has to be folded or cut-out
automatic, correct shaping of the dart’s peak
innovative function of easy to use closing (sewing) of one or multiple darts in order to control and adjust the shape or to perform control measuring with closed dart

Transferring of darts

Modelling by moving an existing dart

easy moving of chosen dart to different position on the pattern with automatic creation of new or additional dart
possibility to move whole dart with automatic closing or only part of it
function to distribute the dart over multiple positions on the pattern, each part of different size
pin point of dart can be easily moved to another place eg to secure unwanted detachment of pattern’s fragment in a position where pin points of a few darts are close to each other

Adding buttons, button holes, points

Fast and precise adding of multiple buttons, button holes, marker points

fast and precise function for adding of multiple buttons, button holes or other marker points by means of easy to use dialog window
function allowing to distribute given quantity of buttons over a declared distance or adding with specified offset between buttons, button holes, etc
first and last button/hole can be added following different rules or can be omitted
possibility to define line of distribution along which subsequent buttons/holes will be added, eg pattern’s edge, with easy to use margins
easy selection of marker type and its additional parameters

Interactive patterns matching

Comfortable mutual matching of patterns, “virtual sewing”

highly comfortable method of interactive pattern matching, simulating traditional measurement of patterns
patterns can be transposed in reference to themselves, according to specified coefficient simulating traditional gathering during sewing
available excellent tools for precise measuring and verification of notches with possibility to add a notch in certain place
work with a group of patterns, easy switching from point to point, quick control of the gathering amount
patterns with darts and pleats are no problem anymore as these elements can be closed automatically

Interactive measurments table

Innovative method of multiple, dynamic measurements

perfect, easy to use and innovative method of dynamic patterns matching control
with just a few interactive functions we can create a list of multiple, mutually dependant measurements, which can be saved in spreadsheet table, similar to classic Excel program
dimensions are automatically re-calculated after each change of pattern’s shape, in all sizes at once
measurements created in this table are saved together with respective model can be displayed or modified anytime
easy verification of graded patterns

Base pattern - one click on selected function … lots of possibilities

See how quickly and creatively you can make new patterns in InvenTex PDS using only one base size! By mutual combinations with already created patterns we can very quickly create many interesting new models!
