From Pattern to Production

In this tutorial one of our designers shows a pattern through the whole process of garment creation in CLO, making it ready for production. You will also learn how to extract a tech pack from CLO-SET and export a graded DXF pattern with seam allowance, notches, and annotations.

BEST VIDEO EVER! all in one place, big thank you!

[@CLO3D]

Thank you!!! Glad you liked it!

[@themijitiy]

Is the only tutorial I found explaining the function seam allowance! Thanks

[@CLO3D]

Glad it helped!

[@meilunhe7250]

Your work is absolutely amazing! It looks like you take very less time and can do a lot of work! Thank you for the teaching! I think I might need to slow down the video a little bit to understand it fully as a beginner.

[@CLO3D]

You are so welcome! Good luck!!

Great video! I have a question, when I'm doing the review of my sizes I can't see them altogether. I'm on CLO 7.0 and I can't find the option: Save 3D State (Review Mode Only). Thank you!

[@CLO3D]

This is no longer necessary in Review Mode; it has been updated. Just assign the avatar and you should be ok.

Very helpful tutorial! How can i take off the seam allowances from my DFX imported pattern if the swap cutting line/ sawing lines not responding? Is there another way to select individually seams and hems to take them off? Thanks in advance

[@CLO3D]

IF your seam allowance is appearing as BASELINES inside the pattern, you need to use the TRACE TOOL to Cut them and delete the excess pattern pieces. IF you have the outline SEAM ALLOWANCE, use the SEAM ALLOWANCE tool to select and delete

[@CN8_DIGITAL_FASHION]

@@CLO3D Thank you!

[@coliny3804]

Question, if you were to add seam allowances in the 2D window, will it affect the overall 3D look when simulated?

[@CLO3D]

Yes. You would have to fold all those allowance. CLO sews without seam allowances... they get added at the end of the project development.

Hi there, do you have any recommendation of printer / plotter for printing the pattern pieces from Clo3d?

Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to identify each pattern with its own size to print them on a plotter. At the moment I haven’t been able find the tool to make it possible, thank you.

[@CLO3D]

When you export/save to print or you will be able to add pattern names/annotations. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360051865053-Print-Layout-export-to-PDF

​@@CLO3D I have added tag names to each pattern, but when I generate the full pattern pieces it doesn’t comes out with their size identified

Hi! It’s impossible for me to find the “nest all pattern” option, why? What can i do?

[@CLO3D]

The Print Layout Mode has been updated. Please reference this document; support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000565568-Nest-Patterns-ver-6-2-

[@southernmcm]

I have a question on seam allowance. Is it possible to export and have everything printed with addition of seam allowance coz I think only 1 size from the printout has a seam allowance and everything else is the same same. Am I making sense?

[@CLO3D]

Yes it is possible. Just tried it with version 7.0.296. Cannot confirm with older versions.

[@southernmcm]

@@CLO3D thank you.

[@CLO3D]

Hi,how to export individual patterns as per our scale in a PDF format?? I've tried in a a3 paper but the all pattern comes in a a3 sheet!any solution??

[@CLO3D]

Make sure you set up a custom sheet on a wide format layout.

[@prabhuudhayakumar2531]

Hey, really appreciate your instant reply👍, (in this one honestly I didn't get it), I did it what you have said earlier but on the pdf file all pattern comes along!!the reason I'm asking I've sewing m/c,if I've individual patterns easily print every parts of pattern on a3 or a2 papers(template) and sew myself,I hope you understand,Thanks and lkg fwd

@@prabhuudhayakumar2531 File--> Export--> Adobe PDF. Leave scale on 100%. Print options depend on your specific printer.

Did you guys get rid of the nest tool?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. No, the tools just changed a bit. In Print Layout Mode, click the 2nd to last icon to set the patterns within the fabric roll. Then click the first icon on top to Nest the patterns.

[@aimanedkhaili8257]

Hi, do you please know where and how to get dxf patterns?

[@CLO3D]

DXF patterns are created by designers for their own use. Maybe search online.

[@aimanedkhaili8257]

@@CLO3D Oh okay alright. Thank you so much

[@themijitiy]

I can't find the menu nest all patterns, with second click doesn't works....

[@CLO3D]

Nest Patterns is the top button in the toolbar. You will see a progress bar come up from the bottom.

[@tabassumhussain8473]

Amazing vdo

[@CLO3D]

Many many thanks

[@iamautumnfoxx]

Can you project the patterns into fabric through the use of a projector ?

[@CLO3D]

CLO is designed so that you can print to paper. But if you have a project we see no reason that would not be possible. You will just have to be careful with scale

sir / madam how can learn properly and apply for job i had learn basic but not properly

The Beginner's Guide to CLO Playlist is a comprehensive set of lessons. After that... practice... practice... practice.

I didn't understand one bit, the guy is too fast. How do you grade the pattern? what is going on???

You can slow it down in the KZbin Settings...
