We’ve added a vertical ruler to the fabric print preview in ArahWeave. What looks like a small cosmetic detail turned out to be a surprisingly interesting technical challenge: Striped rendering: Fabric simulations are drawn in horizontal bands. A horizontal ruler fits neatly into a single...
Fabric technical data sheets have always been a hot topic. Packing a large amount of technical information into a clear, easy-to-read layout that works for different teams is never simple. In the past, ArahWeave displayed a complete breakdown of component colors and percentages for melange and...
Preparing a digital jacquard design for production requires more than simply creating the right visual pattern. The design also needs to match the technical specifications of the weaving machine, including yarn density and hook count. The latest version of ArahPaint makes this process faster and easier...
In the new version of ArahWeave 10.5 we have upgraded our compression engine from zlib to Zstd and tested it on a real customer dataset of 10,000 files. The benefits are immediate: Smaller files: depending on the fabric file type, size is reduced by 10–30% ...
ArahPaint has a new Spacing parameter in Stamp mode, giving you control over the distance between brushes. As you draw continuously, the spacing between brushes remains consistent. You can hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) to adjust it afterward. Check out the short video tutorial...
We've created a custom color profile for Epson’s latest EcoTank photo printers, the ET‑8500 (A4) and ET‑8550 (A3). Both models come equipped with a built‑in scanner and use a six‑color bottled‑ink system, offering excellent value and impressive print quality. Epson provides the Linux driver for...
We’ve added a new space‑saving feature in ArahWeave to optimize the generation of fabric technical data. When converting HTML to PDF or embedding images directly into HTML to create a single file, the program can now automatically remove the separate image files, which are typically...
At Arahne, we’re always looking for ways to streamline the textile design process while maintaining high-quality results. One of our latest features involves reusing weaves that were originally created through color-shading technique in ArahWeave. These weaves, rich in detail and structure, serve as a powerful...
We've digitized a new collection of patterns from Co Spinhoven: Celtic Charted Designs. While this book focuses on needlecraft rather than weaving, many of the patterns can be interpreted as weaves or can serve as components for jacquard imagery. The digitized collection contains 405 files in...
We’re excited to announce a major update for our global user community: ArahWeave and ArahDrape now offer full support for Chinese character input across all windows on Linux systems. This enhancement allows users to seamlessly work in 中文, input data in both Simplified and Traditional...
