I'm probably not the best person to ask ( since I wrote quickdraw) but.... Most of the software will convert treadling to lift plan. WeaveIt & quickdraw have 'Treadle trackers' - quickdraw will show you the table loom action directly from the treadling sequence without converting to lift plan. I'm not sure if any of the other programs provide the tracking function (assuming that's you primary concern with the software),
You should know that in Weavepoint there is a Fill option that lets you enter Rosepath threading and point treadling automatically without using the line tool. If that is your level of understanding for the other programs, I doubt that this video is of much use.
This is intended as an "Entry Level" video trying to show as fair a comparison as I could produce to show the same operations on each of the weaving software packages. Each of the programs does have specific functions (such as those you describe in WeavePoint) which might have made the specific pattern entry easier but it would have made the video much less useful to its intended viewer. I've had over 4,000 views of this video and it's predecessor and yours is the only negative response. It's a public forum- If you want to produce a video which you feel better represents all the products in a better light please let me know & I'll include a link to it. I created this series since I could not find any equivalent already in the public domain.
What is the best program for newbies with an 8 shaft Ashford table loom, and change treadling patterns to lift plans?
