I can't help but to react on some old messages, I stumbled on them in the archive. No affiliate on any, I only bought Knipling once and get free updates for exessive comments and sugestions on what could be done better in a next version.

They both can divide a line into dots. Knipling even has a command to draw the runner simultaneously with the dots in a free shape or tape/ribbon.

A much more detailed update is prepared for the page listed above, but it might take e few weeks before it is online. I could mail you the page in advance.

But I'm afraid you are expecting too much it "converts" a pricking into a technical drawing. You can decide to print only the layer(s) with dots and perhaps some other lines for the pricking, or print all layers or another set of layers at another scale for the working diagram. Thus you can store both drawings in one file and share the common part. But lace-2000 also has layers (even more I think). Knipling however can convert a runner drawn sharp from dot to dot, into a line that goes around the dots. But that is more elaborate than you seem to expect.
