View Options

By default, the front view (face) of the drawdown shows. The Back View can be selected so that the drawdown shows the opposite side of the cloth.

Show interlacement is checked by default. Without interlacement the drawdown shows color with no shadowing to help the warp and weft colors appear as if they are woven.

At zoom level 7 and lower, the numbers no longer show for warp and weft even if the numeric selection is clicked. Tie-up can no longer show numbers at zoom level 9.

The option for GrayScale Drawdown will render the drawdown, all view images including cloth sim, and the printouts to show in grayscale, allowing the value of the colors to show up more clearly. The GrayScale Palette does the same thing with the color palette. The following video shows how this works:

The Render features have a different way of showing the interlacement in the drawdown area. Option 3 gives very 3d effect in the drawdown.

Warp Style View Options

Control whether the warp entries in the threading are shown as numbers, blocks, or blocks with color in this section.

To hide the threading entirely, unclick the Visible box in Warp Style. This can be useful when working on the treadling in a draft with a large number of shafts.

Weft Style View Options

Weft selections can be shown as numbers, blocks or blocks using the weft color.

Cloth View

The Structure Only selection removes color and is useful in designing structures such as Jin and Double Weave to check the interlacement. When using Structure Only with a large design, zoom in to see the structure. Normally the structure view is used with Quick or Full Render.

The Full Render view takes into account thread thickness and interlacement to produce a more realistic image; Full Render is slower, so the option to use Quick Render is available for a quick look.

Zoom View Options

Zoom levels can changed on this menu, with the mouse, or by holding the ctrl key down and pressing the key with the plus or minus sign. It is not necessary to also hold down the shift key zoom in and out.

To change the zoom level that is used when new drafts are opened, set the desired zoom level and click so that the number turns green. This will be used as the default whenver a draft is opened or a new draft is started.

Zoom Level Video

Setting the Default Zoom Level

Zoom levels can also be changed by holding down the ctrl key and using the scroll wheel on the mouse while hovering over the drawdown, threading, weft or tie-up area of the screen.

Numeric tie-up, warp, and weft choices cause numbers for the shafts and treadles to show on the design screen instead of black rectangles. Options to include color blocks are available for warp and weft. Changing these on the View Screen are temporary for the current session; to permanently change the style of showing numbers, blocks, or colors, see under Gris / Layout.

Cloth Sim shows a 3d type view that may be rotated and manipulated to simulate how light will reflect on the woven pattern. See .

Cloth View shows a flat image of the entire project. See
