The Interleave Warp icon is on the Design Screen in the Warp Group:
Interleave Warp allows you to merge a threading sequence into a draft from another draft (or the same draft) and optionally shift the interleaved threads up by a specified number of shafts.
Starting Thread: You can start the interleave process at the beginning, or at a specified warp thread.
Shift Up: The Shift Up value will add to the shaft from the thread that you are interleaving from. If the Wrap field is checked, the shaft will wrap around to shaft one when the maximum shaft for the current draft is exceeded. If Wrap is not checked, shafts will be added to accomodate the shift.
Wrap: If Wrap is unchecked, then threads being brought in from the Interleave From draft will be added on the same shaft as in the From draft; if the shaft is greater than the maximum shaft in draft that is being worked on, then the number of shafts will be automatically changed to accommodate the highest shaft. Likewise, Wrap is unchecked and the Shift Up calculates a higher shaft, the number of shafts will be automatically changed.
When Wrap is checked, the number of shafts will not change in the draft being worked on. Whether shift is used or not, the new shaft value will be calculated and wrap when the highest shaft is exceeded.
Repeat Through End: When the number of warp threads in the "Interleave FROM" draft is less than the number in the working draft, this option, when checked, will wrap back to thread one in the From draft to continue the interleave process through the end.
Interleave Color: When checked, will copy the color from the "From" draft.
Interleave Thickness: When checked, will copy the thickness value from the "From" draft.
Undo / Apply / Accept
Either the Undo or Apply button will be available. After applying a change, the Undo button will back out the change, and allow the Apply button to be available. To keep the changes, click Accept. Clicking Accept does not save the draft.
Some people may prefer to tile the two drafts on the screen using the Window function so both are visibile.
In this situation, the From draft looks the same as the "to" draft above.
If Apply is clicked with the settings as shown above (start at 1, no wrap), the following is the result:
After clicking Undo, and using the settings:
The following results from a Shift of 4 and no wrap:
Notice that a draft has been selected using the drop down "Interleave From". You will need to have your "From" WIF open in another window. It may be helpful to switch back and for using the "eye" icon to be sure you have the correct "from" draft selected.
