About this course

In this course, we'll introduce you to other communication tools including print to file, tech pack and 3D annotations.

You will begin learning print to file to save each piece of a 2D pattern as an individual image at full scale, with an option to include material texture. Next discover the tech pack export tool.  

Now that you have learned the basics, follow along with the workflow video to upload a garment to Stylezone. Improve communication by utilizing the 3D annotations tool to add comments directly in the BW file.
