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...
Rulers in printouts look like a trivial feature, but making them truly accurate is surprisingly difficult. We've just fine-tuned the ruler in ArahWeave, and the result is a more precise and more readable tool. A hidden rounding bug, fixed During testing, we uncovered a rounding bug that...
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...
Great news for all Arahne users working on Apple Silicon devices: ArahWeave now runs correctly on macOS Golden Gate 27.0. To ensure a smooth upgrade experience, just follow two quick steps: Install the latest XQuartz 2.8.6. This is required for proper X11 support on macOS. ...
Arahne has completed a unique summer project: the full digitization of 黑白经纬织物组织设计图集 下册 (Atlas of Black‑and‑White Warp and Weft Fabric Weave Design, Volume II) by Shen Gan (沈干). This book, published in 2005 and long out of print, is considered one of the most comprehensive...
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% ...
Designers spend hours inside their tools, and the interface becomes part of the creative environment. With the new dark mode in ArahPaint6 for macOS, we wanted to deliver more than a color inversion. We wanted an interface that feels calm, modern, and visually coherent, especially...
Designing complex warp and weft patterns just became dramatically faster. With the latest update in ArahWeave, you can now paste a full warp or weft pattern directly from an image, eliminating the need to build multi‑color patterns manually. Start by creating a small 8‑bit gradient image...
Accurate color is essential when moving from digital fabric design to physical samples, especially when working with PANTONE references, spectrophotometer‑measured yarn colors, or production‑critical colorways. To support this workflow, we’ve created high‑accuracy color print profiles for the Epson L8050 (A4) and L18050 / ET‑18100 (A3)...
