Part 1: Grading DOB the back trousers with Claudia Diegner

In part one of our three-part video course, you will get tips and tricks on how to quickly grade the back trouser and achieve the desired results with Assyst.CAD. At the same time you can refresh your own CAD knowledge on trouser grading - using the example of womenswear. This tutorial is suitable for technical developers and pattern designers at all level of experience.

Part 2: Grading front pants for ladies (Focus Darts and Zipper)

In the second part of our grading series, you'll learn how to expertly grade the pattern of the front pant with finesse. We'll demonstrate intuitive techniques for a perfect fit and time-saving work. Discover how to effectively use the 'Copy' functions: copying rules along the contour, the entire set of grading rules, or across multiple points. Additionally, we'll show you how to quickly grade darts with proportional rules and adjust a zipper without the need for calculating X/Y rules.

Part 3: Developing Waistband for Women's pants (focus notches)

In the third video, we'll show you how to efficiently grade the waistband and complete the grading for the pants pattern. When grading a waistband, it's important to intelligently grade the notches and use the notch code to your advantage. Finally, the grading will be measured, and the waist, side seam, and back dart will be adjusted.
