Developing on the Macintosh platform has been our priority since 1990. Our experience has provided us with the opportunity of setting up a concept in an open and creative perspective : no size limit for the documents, no limit in the number of open documents, processing of the links between files.
This way of developing, with the most powerful programming tools, gives the users all the benefits of integrated software : speed and adaptibility to all future developments.
Pointcarré is inspired in many ways by the Macintosh philosophy which is, to give complete satisfaction to the most demanding "Mac" users. It is of interest to emphasize the following features:
•The ergonomy and the user interface work in respect of the Macintosh environment : Pointcarré benefits from the Macintosh Graphic User Interface.
•Pointcarré is now available on Windows platforms , Windows 95, 98, Millenium, NT4, 2000, XP
•Pointcarré is compatible with all the Macintosh and Windows graphic, CAD/CAM, 3D and database programs.

A brief history
Pointcarré pioneered CAD technology back in 1987. That same pioneering spirit is every bit as evident today. We listen attentively to what our customers and the design community tell us they need, and we strive to meet those requirements. Originally, Pointcarre existed as a division of Monarch Knitting Machinery Corporation. As of March 1st 2001, Pointcarré, an exclusive developer of proprietary apparel and textile-design software, has established itself as an independent corporation and formed a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States. It is now known as Pointcarré USA.
