Automated / Programmatic Patternmaking in CLO
Hi, I was wondering if something like this is possible in CLO, either in the regular app or through the API. Basically I want to automated / programmatic patternmaking.
What that would mean is to have an external file that defines a series of patternmaking steps (draw a path from (x1,y2) through (x2,y2), to (x3,y3) with beziers abc, then draw a rectangle at position (x4,y4) with dimensions a*b, draw a line connecting the curve to the rectangle, etc. and then have CLO do all of those steps by itself.
Is anything like this possible? And if so, how? Thanks!

It's not using Clo directly, but could you write an app that that takes in measurements and outputs DXF files? https://allaboutcad.com/use-the-dxf-format-to-edit-drawings/ and then imports those into Clo? A bit like what they are doing here: https://patternlab.london/home/ I'm not a programmer but probably easier to write than a web app.

Also postscript would probably be easier, (see http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/postscript/) but not sure how you would get that into Clo. There's probably a PDF/AI converter somewhere.
