Design Dobby features an intuitive and highly efficient user interface that enables users to define, create, visualize, and implement designs in real-time. The software can seamlessly insert weave patterns in designated areas, incorporate preferred warp and weft structures into textile designs, and adapt colors according to the specific loom being used. It ensures precise control over size and effects for variable density dobby and extra warp effects, allowing for easy simulation of weft cramming, empty dents, and furnishing fabrics. Users can define drafts and peg plans either numerically or by directly drawing on point paper, and the platform supports user-friendly tools for cutting, copying, pasting, and mirroring designs. Additionally, it manages a comprehensive library of weaves, offering capabilities to create intricate weave structures by merging different weaves. The advanced auto weave generation feature facilitates the creation of diverse design effects within the same draft order while modifying the lifting plan, making the design process even more versatile and creative. This ensures that designers can explore a wide range of possibilities in their textile creations without any hassle.
