I just started drafting my own slopers. I found it maddening to have to keep redrawing my pants pattern every time I wanted to modify something, so finally, I marked off sections on my sloper, scanned it in sections, put the scans back together in Corel Draw, and then traced the sloper. It took a while, but now, I have it digitized and can make modifications very easily and more accurately. It's also super easy to add seam allowances. It takes just a click. I just print it on 8-1/2 x 11 sheets using the printer tiling setting and tape the sheets together. I'm lazy. I just tape the sheets well and use that for my pattern for cutting out the fabric. (this probably won't work for delicate fabrics) I store the printed patterns folded in big manila envelopes with a picture of the style drawn on the outside.
I love that Lekala offers DXF file formats. I can just import them into Corel Draw and add seam allowances and make any changes I want so easily.
