It has been an effective design tool along with providing efficient use of materials.

It is inexpensive overall and performs well with the cutting table we purchased.

It was semi easy, I had to have Autometrix walk me through some of the parts but after they did that I was good to go.

We're running and Autometrix table, and Patternsmith is the best tool that integrates seamlessly. When it works, it's very efficient.

Once you get accustomed to the workarounds and establish a workflow, custom work can be drawn up very quickly. Customer service is outstanding.

Mostly I like this software is for pattern nesting.

As a small business owner, my biggest complaint would be cost. However, I do get what I'm paying for.

The software was very easy to use and the technical support was amazing as well.

Very easy to learn how to use it,  a must for an inflatable industry because the plug ins it has.

Sometimes the duplicating features can be a bit wonky and constantly losing the unlock is inconvenient.

Can do edits to panels that automatically update in the nest. Perfect integration with our  Autometrix cutters.

Great Software pattern smith has allowed us to take a flattened pattern and make all the finishing touches, way less complicated than trying to do all of that in a cad program.

Ease in which hemming dimensions could be added to a designed pattern, along with the ability to print instructions to the fabricator within the hemming space.

When we first got the Software we had a long lost Patternsmith 2005 book that came with it.

Pattern Smith allows the user to tightly control the costs of manufacturing  their products and their bottom line. It is versatile and easy to use.

Works great, very intuitive. Incredible tech support.

This software is very simple and easy to use. Everyone in our design team caught on very quickly and became proficient within a couple of days.

Overall been a bit frustrated. I wish the software was more geared to apparel or could exchange with outside files.

Patternsmith is hit or miss on functioning normally most of the time to awkward GUI controls.

One key commands are nice. For running the cutting table this is a great program once you get used to its quirks.

Very Easy to Learn, and user friendly, the software support is very prompt and helpful.

The downtime due to the software losing it's registration/unlock info at inopportune times.

We have largely seen no benefit and frustrated the users who were accustomed to the earlier software.

I like that this software is easy to use. You don't need to know a lot about computers or software to effectively use it.

From first interaction, the staff took care, listened and understood the problems with the previous systems. The implementation team is brilliant.

Modules integrate seamlessly with each other, ease of use, user friendly. Data available immediately.

Pricing - when we embarked on finding a new software, we knew that it was a costly exercise.

It is very strong on the transactional side with users easily trained to do their tasks. It is customisable to tweak to suit your own requirements.

Embrace is user friendly; the accuracy of the data is of utmost importance in our line of business & this system is able to give you that with no doubts at all.

Excellent experience with the integration team.

Ease of use, integration of modules, user friendly.

It is an extremely stable platform that you can adapt to your business workflow. Support is excellent and all support agents are highly qualified and capable to assist.

The ease of reporting and functionality of each of the modules makes it easy for business to operate and manage process effectively.

I have not encountered anything that i dont like.
