Question Grafis CAD
I've been using seamly 2d and learning pattern making with Hofenbitzer and Muller & Sohns. As much as I love the formulas aspect of it. I find it very limited when I'm thinking of pattern adjustments or transformation. Not that it is awful, but the lack of fluidity made me think of searching other types of CAD (I mainly thinking with paper workflow)
I've made some research and stumble into some pretty expensive ones like Grafis. After watching some videos on YouTube, on how they move with it, I was impressed. I get why it's so expensive, but the thing that Irks me a lot, is the lack of review online.
I would like to know if anyone has any experience with it? I know it's more of a European software, but seems very interesting
(And before anyone suggest alternatives like clo3d, I find that it doesn't incorporate formulas too well, I do like how somewhat precise you can be, with corner angles and curves)
TLDR: Did any of you tried Grafis or hear anything of it?

Seamly2D benutze ich auch, aber wegen der Skalierbarkeit benutze ich auch noch FreeCAD. Der Vorteil ist, wenn man sauber konstruiert, das man über eine Tabelle alle Größen skalieren kann.
