Note
There are several ways to create a SmartDesign template. The following workflow is simply one example. You should use whatever workflow best suits your circumstances.
To create a SmartDesign template:
-
Create a file with the core garment pattern pieces and all the extra variations of pattern pieces you want.
-
Lay out the pieces in the 2D window. Important: Ensure none of the pattern pieces overlap.
Tip
It is best practice to agree a standard layout so that all SmartDesign templates are presented in a similar way. For example, your layout might specify that front pattern pieces go on the left side of the 2D window and back pattern pieces on the right.
-
Assign fabrics and materials as you want.
-
For the core garment pattern pieces only:
-
Go to arrange mode and arrange the pattern pieces.
-
Go to prepare mode and prepare the pattern pieces on the avatar.
-
Stitch the pattern pieces together.
-
Dress the garment.
-
-
Create the required categories and nested categories.
-
Create the required types.
-
Assign the pattern pieces.
-
Relate the pattern pieces.
-
Create the SmartDesign combinations.
-
At this point, you can go through however many rounds of selecting combinations you want, until you have the designs you are happy with.
