[lace] Computer programs
Hi, I'm thinking of treating myself to a computer program to assist in designing and drawing patterns. Does any one out there have any experience of these? I have downloaded the demo for Lace 2000, and that seems quite easy to use. Are there any others? Any comments would be appreciated.

Re: [lace] Computer programs
There is on the homepage www.knipling.de allso a program, I have both, but like 2000 best, it is a lot easyer to learn by playing with it.

Re: [lace] Computer programs
I use 'knipling' (the producer is nearly a neighbour) and I can add, that this program is able do fill a ground with patterns. It offers a 'library' where you may create and store your own ground. Greetings from Chemnitz, Gabriele Jean Nathan schrieb: I thought about 'Knipling' which, being continental, seems much more free in the patterns is can create than Easylace and Lace 2000. But then is it able to make a fan or put in roseground as well? What particularly appealed is the fact that (apparently) at the touch of a key you can convert the pricking into a technical drawing.

Re: [lace] Computer programs
I use Corel Draw too I learned the basics from LACE (someone did a couple of articles in 1999/2000 ) Jean What version have you got - I can e-mail a sheet of dots (45degrees or 55 ish for Bucks) Please e-mail me privately Viv - Original Message - From: Jean Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 8:41 AM Subject: [lace] Computer programs I keep thinking about using a computer, but still haven't made up my mind which way to go. I've got CorelDraw, but until someone tells me how to make the page full size and put a dot on it (and I used to teach computing!!) just to get me started, I don't seem to have time to start exploring that. It's all very well saying make a small elipse and then copy it if you already know how to make a small elipse with this program.

I also managed to turn Steph's pre-prepared grids of dots pale blue with Paint Shop Pro so I can see my black dots and markings more easily, but can't remember how I got it perfect. Since the first one, the grids have been distorted when I open them, so I need to concentrate and write down how to do it. Particularly useful for non-45 degree grids.

I visited a class where the teacher used Coral-Draw, I was handicaped it was for Windows and I am a Apple-user. But I managed it but I got the impression that it is to much work. If you are a teacher and needed dozens of copies than it is perhaps worth. I find it easier to use grids when you will do something with laces who have one. But if you, like me design free pattern than you couldn't use Knipling or Easy-lace. Than you need a professional design-programm and/or a painting board.

[lace] Computer Programs
Liz Asks Spiders - this has made me think - how many of you who design use computer programs and which do you use My DH is a retired surveyor and we have a (once very expenseive, now useless to him) survey software package based on a 3 dimensional grid. Two dimensions are perfect for drawing up lace! I drew myself up a grid of dots which I copy for each new pattern, then edit each dot I want to a different colour and layer in the program until I have enough for one repeat. I then get rid of all the base dots, copy and rotate to my heart's content and print out at any scale I want to. There is a sample on my website - the Cooma Kiss hanky edge. I have no intention of copyrighting it, everyone is welcome to copy it, use it, print it elsewhere (eg in newsletters), share it around. I respect copyright for those who are trying to earn some money from their books, but I am unlikely to design anything worth putting in books!
