Weaves
ScotWeave
Jacquard Base Weave Designer is used to create component
weaves (base weaves) for jacquard and uses ScotWeave's unique
layered approach to aid in the design of complex structures,
which is particularly useful for border/header areas. The screen
shows the face weave, back weave, and resulting total weave in separate
windows and each can be worked upon separately automatically updating
the others. In addition to this separate warp and weft sequence
layers can be viewed and worked upon individually (e.g. stitching
layers).
Loop
weaves are easily input and can be stored in separate folders
for ease of access.
Weave
Editing
By assigning base weaves to individual artwork colours the total
jacquard weave is generated. Once the composite weave has been created
there are a wide range of options for editing the total weave. The
weave can be displayed with colour coded markers to help identify
the different lifts, in "3D" colour coded markers show
the direction of threads (warp or weft), in shaded artwork colours
to highlight where weaves meet, and in simple lift format. 
Advanced
float checking and breaking options are available to "intelligently"
break floats between specified weaves as well as floats in the entire
weave structure.
3D
Fabric Simulations
Advanced 3D modeling is included to help visualise your fabric design.
Weave 3D allows you to view the fabric structure as a real
3D image and to move around the structure in real-time. You can
edit the structure in this mode and trace the path of individual
threads through the weave
Output
Options
You can print the finished design on any standard Windows
printer. With higher resolutions available ScotWeave printout quality
exceeds that of the screen simulations. A separate Jacquard
Looms program is used to output jacquard weave data
to electronic jacquard looms or to print the weave lift information
for card cutting. Production data may also be printed to
a loomcard.
Jacquard Designs
can be exported from ScotWeave as standard image files in
one of a range of standard file formats (e.g. TIFF, BMP, PCX etc.).
This allows ScotWeave jacquard designs to be viewed (but not edited)
on virtually any computer without the need for the ScotWeave software.
