Diamond painting
Design in DMC or Diamond Dotz™ drills. Each color keeps its symbol while you edit, and the PDF counts the bags the kit needs. The canvas file prints at the size the drills sit on, legend in the border.
The legend
The legend lists each color's symbol, code and drill count, and rounds every color up to whole bags of 200 with the overage you set, 10 to 30 percent. Diamond Dotz colors count in their containers instead.

Symbols that stay put
A color keeps its symbol for as long as it is in the pattern, so a canvas printed last week still matches this week's chart. The chart prints in color, or in black and white for a toner printer.
Canvas print file
The design prints at 2.5 mm a square drill and 2.8 mm a round one, with a 3 cm border to stretch it by and the legend printed in the border. Send the file to the printer as it is.
One color at a time
Companion view opens a diamond painting by color: the color in your tray lit with its symbols, the placed ones faded, and the drills and bags it takes. Your place is saved with the pattern, so the tablet and the phone agree.
Pick the shape when you start. Round drills sit 2.8 mm apart, so a 30 × 40 cm canvas holds 107 × 143 of them where it holds 120 × 160 square. A pattern only offers the codes sold in its shape: DMC 321 comes round, Blanc comes square.
Each pattern is made in one line. Diamond Dotz codes, DDC.8001 and on, carry their DMC equivalent, and the legend counts them in Diamond Dotz containers.
Colorize matches a photo to drills in your shape, counts near-identical whites as one color, and merges single stray drills into the color around them.
