This is how I set up WeaveIt Pro 4.0 for overshot. If my steps make sense and if they work for you, I'll post this to WeaveTech. First go to Project, Options, Drawdown and mark your two tabby treadles. Second put in the tieup, and threading as ususal. Third put in the treadling, the first two picks must be tabby, then put in the rest of the treadling. Fourth go to Edit, Add Tabby. A box comes up that says that the first two picks will be used as tabby and that this will NOT show up in the main view. (It does show up in the Edit Treadling view.) Click Add Tabby. The tabby can be seen and edited in the Edit Treadling view. And to remove tabby once you've added it, go to Edit, Remove Tabby. Older versions of WeaveIt don't have Add Tabby under Edit. For WeavIt 3.0, the first two steps are the same. Third go to Edit Treadling, in the Mark mode put in the first two tabby picks. Then go to Select mode and select ONLY THE SECOND PICK not both of them! Click on Annotate, the Annotation Type will show up as Tabby. Click to add a dotted line or not as you choose (doesn't really matter) and click OK. Add the rest of the treadling as usual. It will not show up in the main view either. If all else fails (and this is how I figured it out in the first place) look at one of the overshot weave samples that comes with WeaveIt and "reverse engineer" it by editing everything but the tabby. KCL ========================================================================== I also wanted to report to y'all that I have received an external loom driver board (a board that plugs into the rear of your PC and can therefore be run from a laptop) from Dale by way of Sally that I was going test early in June. Unfortunately Katherine's Laptop's disk died, so all this will have to await a replacement hard drive and a new system installation before we can test it. {I distrust a test using both the new external board when the old board that works (and is needed for comparison purposes) is still in the machine. So, soon I hope ... } Cheers, T. |
