Italian term or phrase: figure
Vocational training course to become an "operatore di moda".

CAD pattern making:

Futura Manager è l’interfaccia del Database SQLserver e il gestore dell’archivio:
- memorizza tutte le informazioni relative ai Modello e le figure che lo compongono
- consente la ricerca di modelli e figure all’interno dell’archivio
- salva ed invia le figure selezionate al Cad per l’elaborazione
- gestisce lo storico dei Modelli e delle Figure
- salva come “query” le selezioni desiderate


Does anyone know what "figure" are in this case. I've translated modelli as patterns. My CAD knowledge is rather limited.
Thanks for any help. Juliet

Explanation:
I would translate with "drawings" in case we are talking about images that represent the sketches and that are ready for the manifacturing.
Otherwise, in a more simple way, I would translate "pictures".

FYI the database could store pictures and also files as fields in a table.
