About

The original FreeWeave Weaving Simulator is a simple but effective design tool for hand weavers. This is a fork of that project to add further enhancements. If you find it useful then credit to the original author. If you find it nearly useful, but want to see something added, please create a ticket to let me know.

The screenshot on the summary page shows a draft from the excellent Handweaving.net archive. The test data file 103.wif is from there and used with permission.

Save File issue with 0.2.5

If you have saved a liftplan file with 0.2.5 you will not be able to open it correctly.
There is a workaround:

• Get the 0.2.5.1 release. Don't try to open the file yet.
• Open the wsml file in the text editor of your choice.
• Find the line

    <object class="com.jenkins.weavingsimulator.datatypes.WeavingDraft"> 

• After it, insert this:

    <void property="isLiftplan"> 
      <boolean>true</boolean> 
    </void>

You should then be able to load it. The issue is fixed in 0.2.5.1, files created with that version should behave themselves correctly.
