Paper studies the history of clothing CAD systems. The achievements of development of 3D projecting in the systems CDI (USA) and Asahi (Japan) are observed. Developers of these systems first tried to create system in which would be possible to create spatial model development with lay out of details afterwards. Although these systems could not to provide generation plain pattern blocks from spatial model, for the close fitting garments best solutions was made. Most popular garment CAD systems is made to solve traditional garment development tasks. The solutions when computerized way of "putting on" digitalized plane patterns that were preliminary created manually, onto a 3D digitalized mannequin on a screen, announced especially. CAD system STAPRIM description is given. System describe complex geometrical models of a human body (clothes) and methods of their layout onto a plane surface. While CAD system STAPRIM is not mentioned for creating structure and decorative properties of material, this method let to work with 3D models and create plain patterns automatically, that is why this CAD method is approved as effective and perspective.
