How do I prepere the patterns for sublimation print like below? where both textures and artwork are placed at each pattern peace. In Print layout it dont show if artwork is placed on top of texture.

Hi fredrik. You are right, the Print Layout doesn't seem to have that option. You can export as PDF then, and you'll get the graphics. You could use Adobe Illustrator to post-process the file if needed.

Hey there. I am a product developer at a sportswear sublimation manufacturer and I use Clo for creating my patterns.
I posted this the other day because there seems to be missing features in Clo for these types of processes
Basically what I do, I create my pattern and graded sizes in Clo, then I have to export each pattern size individually to Illustrator as a PDF.
This is going to import into illustrator with a mask. So I embed the file, unmask twice, then ungroup. Then I change the stroke size to 2 and simplify the path.
After that, I start the lengthy process of deleting the seam lines (pattern outlines) and double notches that appear.
Then, because for some reason the seam allowance (cut lines) are not a complete path, I have to shape build each piece. And then I group back my notches.
It takes forever, especially when I have like 8 different sizes to work with. I basically said in my post that there needs to be a way to export patterns WITHOUT pattern outlines and repeating notches. And for the seam allowance cut lines to be a complete path like the pattern outlines are. It's so frustrating I have to do all this just to get the patterns ready for artwork.
Hope this helps.
