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...
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% ...
We’ve expanded the flexibility of variable density in ArahWeave CAD software. Some looms define density through a pattern where each letter represents a different weft density. We initially supported up to nine different densities, but feedback from customers in India weaving highly complex saris showed...
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)...
Designers searching for weaving CAD software often face the same challenge: complex weave structures can be difficult to read, especially when working with advanced jacquard or dobby weaving. With our latest update to the ArahWeave double editor, we’re making that process more intuitive than ever. We’ve introduced...
Arahne is stepping into the art world once again. We’re proud to share that our technology and expertise are part of the newly opened exhibition “Knots and Patterns 2026”, hosted at Stolp Škrlovec in Kranj. As part of the project, our weaving software was used at...
Apple’s latest M‑series computers (M1 through M4) use a fundamentally different hardware architecture and USB framework than traditional PCs. To deliver a consistent, reliable experience for every user, we’ve updated the ArahWeave interface for the NIX Spectro 2 color‑measurement device. As a result, support for the...
