Dobby is a light version of Dobby Pro. Its attractive price tag makes it affordable for starters and lowers the threshold for adding stations with all necessary design functionality.

Dobby Pro offers more comprehensive production features for managing production, such as, shafts manipulation tools, repeats tools, change origin, scan yarns, navigator and Direct Simulation to presentation software.

The user may work directly with the production information for client presentation and also for production.

NEW: Components Editor

The Components Editor Dialogue now allows the user to work with complex warp /weft sequences and lengthy draughts as well as pegplans all at glance, with easy repetition headers. The repeat headers in each table view allows the user faster input of warp/weft design with quick and easy access to each part of the product using the tree view. Using the Manual edit type in the sequences. The tables are updated. Create and Edit complex Warp and weft sequences using text, repeat using repeat headers and link your design. Technical fabrics such as double cloths, towels, blankets and scarves can all be created with ease and speed.

Interface example Components Editor:

Create and edit complex designs using the Components Editor tools.
