What Fashion Dot CAD is
Fashion Dot CAD creates full-size garment patterns from customer measurements for tailoring businesses. It includes more than 1,000 Indian and western patterns and can automatically grade them from S to 5XL in one click. A nesting engine plans fabric layout, with the maker stating it can improve fabric use by up to 40%. Pattern files can be exported as DXF, PLT, PDF, JPG or PNG for standard printers, plotters, projectors and laser cutters. The Windows software is available in English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. Fashion Dot describes its licence as a perpetual one-time purchase with lifetime software updates and no subscription or annual renewal. Its listed starting price is ₹49,999 per once, excluding 18% GST. The company offers a free live demo rather than a trial period. Packages include installation and training; Starter installation is remote, while the other listed packages include on-site installation. Support options include phone, WhatsApp, remote desktop and on-site assistance. The maker says CAD runs locally and does not normally send or store design files on its servers, though licence validation may contact those servers.
