How to Export Real Size Pattern in CLO for 24 Inches Plotter

How to export e-pattern/real-size patterns from clo3d to Adobe Illustrator

In this blog, I will walk you through step-by-step how to export a real-size pattern from CLO3D. Then, place that pattern onto a 24 inches template in Adobe Illustrator. I will show you 2 options on how to export real size patterns as Adobe (PDF) and using Print Layout in CLO3D. 

After that, create a 24 inches template in Adobe Illustrator, so you can place your e-patterns onto that template. Then, you can print those patterns with your 24 inches plotter.

Important Note: this guideline is for an individual designer who just starting out with limited resources at home. It is not for manufacture.

Hi, I’m Rose Willey from Encoder Fashion.

Designer Tips: I want to point out that you can export the file from clo 3d as a Plotter (PLT). However, you need some applications such as Autodesk, Autocad, etc. to open the file.

For this blog, I’m going to share with you how to export the patterns as Adobe (PDF) and using Print Layout in CLO3D see a full video link How to Export Real Size Pattern in CLO3D for 24 Inches Plotter.

2 Options: How to Export E-Patterns/Real Patterns in CLO3D Adobe PDF/Print Layout Mode

Option Number 1: Export E-pattern as Adobe PDF

> File > Export As 

> Adobe (PDF) 

> Name the File 

> Navigate to the location you want the file.

Option Number 2: Export Real-size Patterns Using Print Layout

 > Object Browser 

> + Add > Name the fabric “All pattern pieces” 

> Transform Pattern Tool 

> Marquee selects the all the pattern pieces 

> Apply the “All pattern pieces” fabric onto these pattern pieces 

> Simulation window 

> Print Layout 

> Select one of the Default fabric rolls (notes: do not select “custom fabric roll” that function does not work) 

> Right-click select repeat grid 

> Right-click select

 > Nest All Patterns 

> Type in 0.5 

Do | Don’t Use Fabric Roll Within CLO3D

Use the default fabric roll in Print Layout Mode Lists Below:

  • 44”
  • 55”
  • 58”
  • 60”
  • 62”
  • 70”

Don’t Use the Custom Fabric Roll in Print Layout Mode:

Don’t use custom fabric roll via print layout mode in clo3d. For example, when I insert the value of 24 inches and the result of the patterns got cut off. I recommend using the (default fabric roll) for now refer to this step-by-step video link How to Export Real Size Pattern in CLO3D for 24 Inches Plotter.
