About

BeadCreator powers your creativity. We've put more than a decade of experience into BeadCreator, and our goal is to give you the tools you need to create spectacular beaded jewelry simply and easily. Creating patterns has never been this easy. After less than an hour, you'll be designing beautiful bead patterns like a pro! Create your own designs, use our starter patterns as inspiration or combine features from several of them. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, BeadCreator adds efficiency and saves time on repetitive tasks. Smooth and intuitive operation is designed to speed up your design time, with features such as drag-and-drop icons for adding designs directly to your design canvas, a selection of frame and fill patterns, transparency control, scalable bead shapes for easy import and export (COE/JPG), pixel-to-bead conversion, an automatic memory packer to preserve colors when resizing, add or alter bead types.

About

PatternMaker is the primary program and is used to create patterns. Once patterns are created they can be exported into digital files that can be shared like any file on the Internet. There are different levels — versions — of PatternMaker. MacroGen is the program that creates the exported files. The exported files are called macros. The macros have the ability to accept different measurements so the pattern can be adjusted to fit. Macros are executed by PatternMaker. (Many computer programs have macros that exist in a digital, sharable format. For example, Microsoft Word and Excel have the ability to export macros for sharing.) So, to run a macro you need the PatternMaker program. Collection Creator combines many different patterns that are in macro form into a collection. A collection might be a group of summer dresses.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing about this software is good. It is from 2010 and it is like going back to Windows XP. Buggy.

Cons

  • Buggy, serial doesn't work. Website is outdated. Software is outdated. Feels like you need to be a programmer to run this software. Just horrible.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • PatternMaker is a great CAD software. It has several levels that allows you to opt in at your budget and build up as you go. I started with professional studio and now use the grading studio. I also design garment patterns with Macrogen by PatternMaker. Its versatile and flexible for you. You can design from the scratch or work from predesigned templates.

Cons

  • I would like a few more features added like an auto save. Sometimes I lose my work.
