I have done a few designs for publication, including diagrams. I referred to Pam Nottingham's BP book on placement for the picot dots. On an edging they are slightly off angle to the rest of the grid, depending on the thread path out to the picot and back. I have Easy Lace but I think you could do the same with the respective options in Lace 2000. I set 'no snapping' and in their own layer, place dots along one repeat until it looks right. I then turn off all the other layers, copy the dot sequence, turn the layers back on, and paste the group of dots plunk-plunk-plunk along the repeat.
Hope this helps?
