Software for Pattern Drafting
There are many programs for pattern drafting, such as Leko, Valentina, Grafis, Zakroyshchik, Optitex 11, RedCafe, and others. Their functionality varies. Some allow you to download ready-made patterns based on your measurements, while others let you build a pattern once, enter formulas, and then simply change the measurements for the program to recalculate the pattern automatically. Optitex 11 can even visualize the garment on a figure. I want to install one of these programs, but learning them takes time, so I can't decide which one to choose. Can anyone share their experience? Please help me decide.

Есть немало программ для построения выкроек – Леко, Валентина, Графис, Закройщик, Optitex 11, RedCafe и прочие. Функционал у них разнообразный. В некоторых моно скачать готовые выкройки со своими мерками, в других – один раз построить выкройку, ввести формулы и потом просто менять мерки и программа будет сама рассчитывать выкройку. Optitex 11 вообще может делать визуализацию изделия на фигуре. Хочу поставить себе какую-то из этих программ. Но на ее освоение и изучение требуется время, поэтому не могу определиться какую именно программу поставить. Подскажите, кто чем пользовался? Помогите определиться.
I like PatternsCAD the most.
With it you can easily create your own patterns or use templates, both scaled and full-size. To build a pattern you need to enter measurements, seam allowances, and other details.
The downside is you have to download it and it has paid features (although finding the program with a license key on the internet isn't a problem).
In the free version there aren't many ready-made templates, but you can create your own endlessly. The program isn't expensive and it's really useful if you do a lot of sewing.
