The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Pointcarre.
- The Internet Archive's capture of Pointcarre's homepage on 26 January 2021 named distinct textile CAD modules, ColorSep (printing), Pro Weave (broken into Dobby, Jacquard and Loomnet weaving modules), Knit, and 3D Mapping, sold as separately purchasable modules with no price figure found.
