Setting the number of Shafts and Treadles

Find this panel in the Tieup menu.

shafts and treadles panel

The Shafts and Treadles panel allows you to set you required number of shafts and treadles. Click the slider controls or type into the appropriate boxes. The stepper controls next to the numeric boxes can be used for fine control if you have difficulty setting an exact value with the sliders.

setting treadles

When you set the number of shafts, you may find that the treadles slider moves in step with the shafts slider. This happens when the number of treadles is either equal to number of shafts, or is two treadles more than the number of shafts. This allows the two values to be set in one action.

Set the number of treadles after you set the number of shafts if you want different values.

If your design is set up as a liftplan, number of shafts and number of treadles are always equal and can't be set with different values.
