FABRIC FILES FLOWCHART

Loading files from Fabric browser

•Loading recently used fabrics
•Saving the fabric
•Reload from disk
•Saving a fabric in .WIF format

LOADING FILES FROM FABRIC BROWSER

•To load a fabric file using Fabric Browser choose File > Load fabric (keyboard
shortcut B). Thumbnails of fabrics are displayed to identify each fabric.
•Do one of the following to open the fabric in ArahWeaveedouble click a fabric icon, or
select a fabric icon and then click OK or press Enter.
•If you have set to have both, File selection dialog and Fabric browser available, then
use File > Browse to open the fabric browser.

SYMBOLE IDENTITY

• create new directory

• default directory

delete fabric

• open selected fabric with ArahWeave in a new window

• The meaning of icons in the toolbar
• Filters (icon )allows you to narrow down the number of displayed fabric icons
by entering the limits ofweave size x, weave size y, date of creation, number of
shafts, warp and weft yarns, number ofthreads in fabric width, warp and
weft density, denting and regulator, and file name.
•

• WEAVE VIEW
• This view mode shows the weave in repeat in

black and white. It is useful when you are

drawing a new weave, since it is easier to see
the errors in weave repeat. If you enable the
Fringe option you can also see the warp and
weft pattern on the bottom and left of the
weave.
