Basic Viewer – Free 30-Day Grading Studio
Download a 30-Day Free Trial of Grading Studio
PatternMaker 7.5 Basic Viewer now begins as a 30-day free trial of Grading Studio. This gives you full access to Grading Studio features for 30 days. After the trial period ends, the software continues to work. It simply becomes Basic Viewer, which you can continue to use for free.
This is a practical way to explore the software and see whether it will meet your pattern making needs. Open PatternMaker, explore the tools, get familiar with the workspace, and see how the software handles pattern files and measurement-based pattern generation. This learning period lets you understand which version is suitable for you.
What Happens After the Trial?
After 30 days, the program becomes Basic Viewer. Basic Viewer is a free utility. It is designed for people who want to use pre-made pattern macros without necessarily needing the advanced editing and development features of the higher versions. This means you can still use the software to open and run pattern macros that have already been created for you.
What is a pattern macro?
A pattern macro is a pre-made pattern program that uses measurements to generate a pattern. Instead of working with a fixed-size pattern only, a macro can produce a custom pattern using your own body measurements.
With Basic Viewer, you can run these pre-made macros, enter the required measurements, and print out your own pattern. That is one of the reasons PatternMaker is so useful to designers, tailors, and dressmakers who want more than standard-size sewing patterns.
Continue Using Basic Viewer or Upgrade
Whether you continue using Basic Viewer or upgrade after the trial is up to you. You may be happy to continue with Basic Viewer, especially if your main goal is simply to use ready-made macros and print patterns. You may decide they want more control and more design power. In that case, you may want to upgrade to:
- Deluxe Editor
A good option if you want more editing ability than Basic Viewer offers.
- Professional Studio
Useful for users who want stronger drafting and professional pattern development features.
- Grading Studio
Best for users who need the full grading features and the most advanced capability.
