Abstract
A computer reviews card designs for color changes in a fabric pattern that might cause mixed contours in the fabric woven by a Jacquard design. The computer displays problem positions of the card designs that cannot be corrected by correction lift plans and suggests changes to the card designs. When permitted the computer automatically changes the card designs to avoid mixed contours.
