Pattern making webinar tomorrow-OptiTex
Posted by Kathleen Fasanella on Nov 22, 2010 at 12:42 pm / Patterns / Trackback
OptiTex is sponsoring a CAD pattern making seminar tomorrow (November 23rd) at 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST. Unlike previous webinars which featured various capabilities of the CAD software, tomorrow’s event will be a pattern making training session. Says OptiTex:
This Session will be an educational seminar to instruct users on pattern making techniques using the most efficient tools. Topics covered are designing a new style from a block, measuring and specification creation, slashing and spreading, darts, facings, and naming/color conventions in OptiTex.
There is no cost but you must register in advance. I think this seminar will be very helpful whether you have the software or not. Julia Shaw (the trainer) will be illustrating techniques in real time that apply to pattern making generally. I am very much looking forward to it. Julia is a warm and compassionate teacher and an excellent pattern maker in her own right.
If interested, here are other scheduled OptiTex seminars:
Guide for the Technical Designer, Converting Patterns, Correcting and Fit. Thursday December 16th, 2010, 2pm EST. This Webinar (3) will focus on all the tools in OptiTex for the Technical Designer. Converting various file formats, merging blocks, drafting, flipping, walking, creating and updating specifications. The second half of this session covers 3D virtual samples and how to combine 2D and 3D to become more effective in communicating FIT with manufacturers.
Grading made simple, Improve Global fit. Thursday January 27th, 2011, 2pm EST. The fourth Webinar will be all about setting up grading standards in a company with the focus on how to Grade, check, grade notches, measure and record all grading within a company.
3D Samples, Yes you can reduce samples while improving Fit and Expanding Style. Thursday February 24th, 2011, 2pm EST. Webinar 5 will focus on everything to do with 3D and how to incorporate into a company whether for Fit, Samples, Design or Marketing. How to create a 3D Sample and send it for Correction, How to use 3D for Style Creation and Colorways, and finally how to implement 3D throughout a company. We will finish this session with an introduction to Animation for online presentation or in house Marketing.
How to import and CAD format and create a 3D sample. Thursday, March 24, 2011, 2PM EST. The 6th Webinar will focus on how to import any CAD format using our online web services, create model, stitch in 3D, and email to anyone to open. This follows the format of an OptiTex 2D to 3D training session.

The webinar was great! I am just starting to learn my Optitex software and I have copious notes to go and apply to my work. I am looking forward to more webinars!

Tried to watch; poor quality audio on my end (not my computer) and my questions were, somehow, not posting. I even raised my “hand” a few times, but I think there were technical errors on the other end.
From what I saw, it looked good.

I do apologize for some poor audio quality at the beginning of the session, this was quickly resolved as we dialed into the conf from another phone. we had wonderful audience, way more than expected and the feedback was great. we will continue with this season II series into 2011 (there are 4 more webinars planned) so stay tuned and feel free to ask any post webinar questions.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Attn: Kate R, and others who commented that it’s impossible to get into the CAD loop without already being employed with a CAD user. . .can you and do you put attending webinars such as these onto your CVs to help cover that gap? (Also the third season/series is running right now! Clear your evening calendars, my fellow residents of GMT.)
