ArahWeave 7.1 ready for download

After a month of testing we are proud to release new version of ArahWeave.
Version 7.1 brings many new features and improvements, the most important are:
– correct fabric simulation display of variable density. Display of regulator and denting was already correct, but now you can correctly display 25 wefts woven with density of 20/cm, followed by 10 wefts with density of 34/cm (Picture 1).
– fixed visual bug on fabrics with regulator, ground fabric no longer shows defect on start and end  of regulator (Picture 2).
– eliminated button for removal of extra wefts in jacquard conversion, it is now always done automatically
– faster fabric simulation when displaying yarn preview
– for Staubli looms in network, the function Weave > Read loom status will display all events on the loom since it was powered on. Creation of logs must be enabled on the Stabuli JC4/JC5/JC6 controller (Picture 3).
– in jacquard conversion, multiplication factor of the final weave will be drawn in blue letters if it matches the image size.
– in jacquard conversion, button Open with ArahPaint will open jacquard image for drawing, if it is located in default image directory
– in jacquard conversion, display final weave size in cm or inches
– we have removed some rarely used settings, to simplify the program
– program automatically updates itself, if it finds update file on the desktop
– color picker in color editor allows you to get color from any point on the screen
– if you have scanned one repeat of fabric, loaded as jacquard image, and you click on ruler unit (top left), you can enable display of scanned fabric in actual size, instead of the ruler. Using this function, it is easy to copy warp/weft patterns from samples (Picture 4).
