Description

PatternMaker serves as the main application for designing patterns, allowing users to create and subsequently export them into digital files that can be shared online like any other file. This program comes in various versions to accommodate different user needs. MacroGen is the accompanying tool that facilitates the creation of these exported files, referred to as macros. These macros can be tailored with various measurements, enabling users to adjust the patterns for a perfect fit. Execution of these macros requires the PatternMaker software. (Many software applications, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, also support macros in a format suitable for sharing.) Therefore, to utilize a macro, one must have access to PatternMaker. Additionally, Collection Creator takes multiple macros and organizes them into a cohesive collection, which could consist of themed items like a selection of summer dresses. This functionality not only enhances the user experience but also allows for streamlined design processes across various projects.

Description

The default file format for PlanMaker 2021 is XLSX, which eliminates the hassle of importing and exporting files. This compatibility allows you to seamlessly open workbooks created in PlanMaker using Microsoft Excel and vice versa, without any need for conversion. Additionally, PlanMaker 2021 enables the editing of XLS files and the creation of high-quality PDF documents from your spreadsheets. New features also include the ability to generate archival PDFs in PDF/A format for long-lasting document storage. Users familiar with Excel will find it easy to transition to PlanMaker 2021, as there is no need to adjust to a different interface or learn new calculation functions, ensuring full compatibility with Excel. This software supports up to one million rows per worksheet, making it suitable for handling large datasets effectively. To manage these extensive data sets, you can utilize pivot tables, data consolidation, scenarios, data grouping, autofilter, and specialized filters. Furthermore, real-time calculations displayed in the status bar keep you informed of any data updates, enhancing your workflow efficiency. Overall, PlanMaker 2021 stands out as a versatile tool for both novice and advanced users alike.
