Design Repeats

A Faster Way to Copy

Design Repeats Icon

Using the select and copy functions, areas of warp and weft can be selected and copied. The Design Repeats provides options that can make copying faster.

Quick Repeats Tab

Starting with a simple example, the Quick Repeats tab allows a quick selection of all the Warp and/or Weft and allows a specified number of repeats.

Quick Repeats of Warp and Weft

In the above example the Warp is to be repeated 4 times and will measure 3.75 inches (based on ends per inch/cm from Project Information | Planning | Setup). Similarly you can see the length, calculated a 7 inches in the above example, based on 6 repeats and picks per inch/cm in the project setup. Once Apply is clicked, the changes are reflected in the design.

Tip: Ctrl-Z will undo the copy.

Warp Repeat Tab

The second tab provides options for repeating warp. This option is also accessible from the Warp icon on the Design menu.

Weft Repeat Tab

The weft repeat option is described here: Weft Repeats
