I have looked at your tutorials and I am not finding them very helpful. I am new to this program and 3D sketching.
But not new to designing and fashion. I have recently downloaded the 1-month trial and I notice that there is no tutorial for the newer version. It doesn't help to review old tutorials when you are working from a newer software version with upgrades. Old tutorials would only help if you were already familiar with the program and all its former features. I would really love to see a tutorial that shows designing clothing for an avatar. One that doesn't jump around and into other features that are really not useful. Stay focus. (1) why can't you move the 2D window into the exact view you want once you have a pattern? As I have yet to see a tutorial that does this. (2) How do I create a pattern? Can I use a pen tool and just draw it out? I did pattern design in school so I know how to make patterns. But I do not find the 2D window to be very easy to create even the most basic pattern block. Too many clicks into different windows to do a simple task.
It would be really nice if you could make a tutorial that is done by someone with a background in fashion design and CAD sketching with an understanding of pattern design. You have a demo of a pant being made and a hoodie says fast and easy. wheres, that Tutorial found?
Hello T-K Alex,
Thank you for contacting us.
I am really sorry that you couldn't find our tutorials helpful. As we are planning to produce various tutorials according to the latest version, I hope our new tutorials would be helpful to our users.
First of all, I'll recommend some manuals and tutorials that we have.

I hope this information helps you. Should you have further questions, please let us know :)
T-K Alex, if you have done any commercial CAD fashion drafting using software you should be familiar with the need to locate points and draw polyline patterns into closed shapes. This all takes clicks and considerably more by other Fashion CAD software. MD is perhaps one of the easiest pattern CAD systems to learn, if coming from paper or card pattern making as the drafting tools are simple enough to use along with the auto drafting assistant and grid to ensure you get precise location and quick laying of points.
Study the toolsets and many left hand keyboard shortcuts that accompany right hand pen or mouse clicks and you will find MD is perhaps the fastest CAD drafting tool on the market for digital fashion samples. But also determine if MD or it's parent software CLO3D (which is geared to fashion designers for making technical samples and printing off patterns and tech packs) is the path you should follow, both share the same basic drafting tools BUT CLO3D has all the pattern sampling and online communication to work with the technical pack functionality + distribution that any contemporary fashion designer should consider as their 1st port of call for an integrated pattern sampling system. So before you get too deeply into MD, maybe do some further research on CLO3D and CLO-SET as well.

There is always a workflow transition to make when shifting from worktable paper cutting and drawing of patterns to CAD. And the 2D work space is perhaps your first hurdle in terms of how to set up your workstation. Did you know you can tear off the 3D window and 2D drafting window and assign one window per screen and use a 2 screen workstation setup. Almost the default standard for any digital fashion designer. So hardware and extending your screen real-estate can be a great investment in productivity and eye relaxation.
Good luck - but choose the right tools, do some deeper process research and expect to change your approach. It's not paper on a worktop - it's much better, faster, more scalable, and definitely quick to push out lasercut samples in under one hour ready for making > using CLO3D, the parent software.
