'Tis true I did buy Dollwear Designer, but I didn't find the prog interface

interface options so common key presses and mouse clicks don't always do
what you think they should, IYSWIM. And yes, I did try and try and try to
get used to the eccentricities of the program but gave up in the end.

What I do occasionally use is a proper CAD engineering drafting program
when I'm trying to modify or scale pattern pieces up or down. I guess
that's my engineering background showing through.....

I bought Wild Ginger on recommendation of a number of people here whose opinions I trusted, but there are several others on the market. I think Threads magazine did a comparison some time back, perhaps someone else here can get you the link. Wild Ginger does have a demo you can download and play with, and it is basically a CAD program, although there are so many "click" choices I haven't had to go into that yet - which is just as well, since I am self taught on the computer, and only know those things I have been forced to learn in order to make it do what I need.
