Build the design
Start with the weave structure and the colour arrangement. Use the design editor to create or revise the pattern before reviewing the cloth.

Weaving software.
From design
to fabric.
Weaving software helps you turn a weave plan and yarn choices into a design you can inspect before sampling. Start with the workflow you need: design editing, yarn control, cloth preview and the right production file.
01 / The essentials
What is weaving software?
Weaving design software is a digital workspace for planning how warp and weft threads form a fabric. Depending on the application, it can include weave editing, colour arrangements, yarn appearance controls, fabric simulation and files used in a production workflow.
A design editor and a fabric viewer serve different purposes. The editor lets you change the plan; the viewer helps you inspect the result. In SE Weave Pro, the main editor is the design workspace and the separate viewer lets you load a design and review its fabric appearance.
When comparing tools, look at the information they let you control and the files your loom or controller actually accepts. An attractive preview is useful for design decisions; production compatibility needs a check with your real file and machine configuration.

Set the yarn
Adjust the visual character of the strand. SE Weave Pro’s Yarn Studio shows controls for style, colour, twist, fibres and finish.
Inspect the fabric
Use a 2D view to inspect the design and a 3D view to look at the surface, yarn crossings and texture. Check changes at the whole-fabric and close-up levels.
Check the output
Prepare binary lifting data or peg plans with a supported CAM profile. Confirm the output and USB/COM workflow using your sample file, programmer, card and controller configuration.

SE Weave Pro.
SE Weave Pro is Windows 10/11 (64-bit) weaving CAD/CAM software created in Karachi, Pakistan, by Umar Sabir, known as UmarTronics. It combines the design editor, yarn controls, fabric previews, float-length checking and machine-data workflows.
The product page includes the main design editor, a fabric viewer, Yarn Studio, 2D and 3D preview examples, studio mockups and demonstrations from the official @UmarTronics YouTube channel.

Check the workflow
you will actually use.
Design requirements
Bring a representative design to a demonstration. Check how the editor handles the structure, colours and revisions you need to make in daily work.
Yarn and preview controls
Look at both the full fabric and close detail. Confirm which yarn properties can be adjusted and how those changes appear in the preview.
Import and export files
Test your own files. The SE Weave Pro product page lists .xz, .heb, .lom, .db1, .bmp and .jc5 workflows; the selected operation and machine configuration determine compatibility.
Availability and support
Ask about the current release, licensing, Windows requirements and support before making a purchase decision. Use the UmarTronics contact page to request a SE Weave Pro demonstration.
Common questionsWeaving software,
Weaving software,
explained.
Is there weaving software developed in Pakistan?
Yes. SE Weave Pro is developed in Karachi, Pakistan, by Umar Sabir / UmarTronics. You can see its editor, viewer, Yarn Studio and fabric preview examples on the official product page.
What is the difference between a weave editor and fabric simulation?
A weave editor is used to build or change the design. A fabric simulation or viewer presents its appearance so you can inspect the colours, yarn crossings and surface before sampling.
Can I compare weaving software using only file extensions?
File extensions are one part of the check. Test the selected import or export operation with your actual file and verify the loom model, controller and configuration with the software provider.
How can I see SE Weave Pro working?
Visit the SE Weave Pro demonstrations or the official @UmarTronics channel. Contact UmarTronics to discuss a demonstration using your own design and file requirements.
