Know before usingTUKAcad is Windows software; the official Mac route requires a separate virtual Windows environment. Pattern-piece, graded-size, marker, import and export, digitizing, and production-output capabilities vary materially by paid tier. A CAD file or marker report does not prove fit or factory readiness, so verify formats, grade rules, seam and production data, hardware, training, and downstream compatibility before subscribing.The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric.The record does not reproduce licensed ISO measurement drawings, supply universal POM codes or targets, approve an internal method, prove measurement capability or product fit, or replace qualified technical-design, pattern, fit, quality, metrology, safety, and regulatory review.

Source and review
What the source establishesTukatech's current TUKAcad page publishes monthly Learning and Professional editions for digital patternmaking and grading, with a higher tier adding marker making, data import and export, digitizing, cut-data optimization, and yield reports. It discloses plan limits on pattern pieces, graded sizes, and marker dimensions, plus built-in help, block templates, a trial, Windows requirements, and the Windows-on-Mac route.The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred.The guide cites current ISO garment-measurement, body-measurement, and textile-conditioning standards plus NIST measurement-process guidance for repeatability and reproducibility; it requires organization-specific codes, added points, targets, and tolerances to remain explicitly controlled.
