Tiling Tool is more or less a light version of Pattern Maker. It can create a pattern from only 1 single tile (and that's all it does), including several options for repeats, reflecting and color changing. The purpose of Pattern Maker is to create grid/half-drop patterns from a collection of clip art. Tiling Tool is better when you have one seamless (or even non-seamless) tile / image and you want to fill the entire canvas with it. It's included as a bonus when you buy POD Pattern Maker Complete.

The Time Saver for Word Search is a little bit more complex to use than the other Time Savers within Puzzle Maker Pro. In this tutorial we'll go over the three steps to create Word Search puzzles with the Time Saver: 1. Set up the main configuration - How the word lists will be used, and some global styling options, 1. Set up the word lists - files with words that you have saved on your computer 1. Set up the batch creation of puzzles. ## How to combine several word lists To use the Time Saver for Word Search, first select Word Search in the Puzzle Type menu. Then go to the Time Saver tab, and check the "Use Time Saver to generate Puzzles" option. You can see three tab areas in this window: Main, Word Lists, and Batch Creation. Here you can choose to combine multiple word lists, or create separate puzzles for each word list. This will allow you to mix several themed or generic word lists. There are other - advanced - options on this Main tab, we'll skip these for now. ## How to set up the word lists in the Time Saver for Word Search The next step is to select one or more word lists. These are word lists on your computer. You can select as many lists as you need. Depending on your settings in the first step, these word lists will be combined or used separately. ## How to create a batch of Word Search puzzles with the Time Saver There are two different ways to specify how to create word search puzzles with the Time Saver. 1. _Fast_ (legacy) will quickly create rectangular puzzles for you, using the styling options on the Puzzle Settings Panel 2. _Preset Puzzles_ will create puzzles from your own presets, offering you more options to set styling for individual puzzles, as well as the option to use shaped word search puzzles. ### How to create Word Search puzzles using the Fast option This (legacy) Time Saver for Word Search will create rectangular or square word search puzzles from your word lists. You can specify several formats and quantities, in the screenshot you will see the default configuration to create 20 puzzles in a 15x15 grid. You can add several rows with instructions, to create several different puzzles with one mouse-click. Note: If you chose to separate puzzles per word list on the Main tab, you'll get 20 puzzles for each word list (in this example). If you merge all word lists, you'll just get 20 puzzles. ### How to create Word Search puzzles using the Preset Puzzles option This (new) Time Saver for Word Search will create word search puzzles using the presets you have saved. It will replace the word lists but will use all the styling options and the puzzle shape. To use this option, you'll have to create your own presets for Word Search puzzles. You can do that in the Puzzle Settings tab. You'll have to select the "Use Time Saver - Preset Puzzles" option to activate this module. You can select as many presets as you need.

The styling options for Jigsaw are: * Font Styling for Coordinates * Line Width and Color * Help Lines in the puzzle pieces. ## Font Styling You can choose any (TrueType) font on your computer for the printed coordinates. Just click the white area that has the font name (by default "Arial", in this screenshot "Artless") and the Font Setup window will be shown, where you can configure and preview the font settings. ![Jigsaw 015 - Font Styling.png](https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/1PQPuu1YAz/Jigsaw%20015%20-%20Font%20Styling.png) ## Line Width and Color You can set the Line Width and Color for the puzzle and solution, and separately for the individual puzzle pieces. That way you can choose for thicker lines if the puzzle pieces are intended to be cut out. ![Jigsaw 016 - Line Styling.png](https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/zGokAZ8tVW/Jigsaw%20016%20-%20Line%20Styling.png) ## Help Lines In addition to the puzzle piece border lines, you can also add Help Lines. These will help children (or adults) to draw parts of the puzzle piece in the right location. This can be especially helpful if you have puzzle pieces with lots of detail. The next screenshot shows an example. The purple color for the Help Lines was chosen to contrast with the bright colors. ![Jigsaw 017 - Help Lines.png](https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/XFp9E9y0aY/Jigsaw%20017%20-%20Help%20Lines.png)

Puzzle Maker Pro – Connect the Dots is an interactive playground to create Connect the Dots puzzles. There are three different versions: The Lite Edition, the Manual Edition and the SVG Edition. * The Lite Edition has all the features and options of the Manual Edition, but is limited to one path only (with virtually unlimited dots) * The Manual Edition has tools and options to add, insert, move and delete dots, change the style of the dots, the style of the lines and the style of the tags (numbers or text), for multiple paths (lines). These paths can be grouped together for easier overview. * The SVG Edition adds options to import SVG files and optimize the number of dots resulting from an SVG import. In this tutorial we’ll focus on the basics – the window layout, and the tools and options to create a very simple Connect the Dots puzzle. This tutorial assumes some knowledge of Puzzle Maker Pro – Settings for output path, file size and format are explained elsewhere. ## How to get Started with Puzzle Maker Pro – Connect the Dots After choosing Connect the Dots in the Puzzle Type menu, you’ll see a window like the one below. (Details may differ slightly, because we’re continuously improving the software) Creating a Connect the Dots puzzle consists of two steps: 1. Create the dots and paths for the puzzle 1. Change the styling and options ### Lite Edition The next image is the default display for the Lite version of Connect the Dots. (1) You see the properties for the current path, such as line color and dot type. We’ll explain this after creating our first path. (2) The preview panel contains brief instructions for Connect the Dots, telling you to Open the Path Editor (3) Click the “Open Path Editor” button (3) to get started. ### Manual Edition and SVG Edition The Manual Edition and SVG Edition open the window with the Navigation menu visible. When starting a new puzzle, there will only be one single path shown: "New Path". Click the “Open Path Editor” button (3) to get started. ## How to Use the Path Editor for Connect the Dots The Path Editor contains tools and options to create the different paths for your puzzle. Some Connect the Dots puzzles only use one single path, that is: a single chain of dots numbered from 1, where the puzzler has to connect all the dots with consecutive numbers. 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and so on. More complex Connect the Dots puzzles may have multiple paths. Puzzle Maker Pro – Connect the Dots – Manual Edition and SVG Edition support the use of multiple paths. With the Path Editor you can: * Click to add dots (1). Just click on the preview panel, that contains the tutorial text. As soon as you place your first dot, the text will disappear. * Clear all (2): If you make mistakes, or you want to continue with a blank slate, click the “New Image” button * You can select an image on your computer to use as an overlay (3). That way you can add dots along the outline (or outlines) of your image. The filename of your overlay file will be shown as well (5) * With the SVG Edition you can also open the SVG Editor (4). This is a separate window that will display your SVG image and has options to change the number of dots. * At the left you can see the path settings panel (6). You can change all the path settings here, such as the name, colors, dot type, and more. ## How to Add Dots to create a puzzle By left-clicking the mouse on the panel at the right (that initially shows the tutorial text), you can add dots. The software will keep track of the order of the dots, and display lines between the dots (the path). In this example we’ve created a simple path with 5 dots in the shape of a house. * You can always identify the start dot (1), it has a different shape and size, which you can select in the dropdown menu “Start Symbol” After you change the settings for any of the styling options, click “Preview” (bottom left) to update the preview. * The shape for the regular dots (2) can be selected in the “Dot Type” dropdown menu, the color and size can also be changed using the Dot Settings options. Dot size and Line Size are calculated relative to the image size (see: Puzzle Maker Pro Basics tutorial). For an image size of 500px, the dot size will be the number of pixels (for example: the current setting “3” means 3 pixels). For an image size of 2000px (4 times as big) it will be 4*3 = 12 pixels, and so on. That way the scaling will be consistent if you use different image sizes. * The line size and width can be set (3) * Finally, a double circle will be displayed for the ‘current’ dot (4). This is the last dot you edit, or the dot you selected. The next screenshot shows the same image with totally different styling options: ## How to Edit the Current Dot position Puzzle Maker Pro - Connect the Dots is the only puzzle app where you can edit (move or delete) the individual dots in a path. A dot can be marked as the current dot (with the double circles). That means it’s the last dot you added or clicked. The current dot is also the one that can be edited: * If you click anywhere on the image, the next dot will be added directly after the current dot (and before the next dot). This way you can add dots to an existing path * You can press the Delete key (Del or Delete) on your keyboard to delete the current dot. This will only work if the mouse is positioned over the preview panel. (Otherwise other apps may not work properly) * You can use the left, up, right and down arrows to move the dot a tiny bit in that direction * You can use the PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys to move the dot a bit further in that direction (Home for left, End for right) * You can press the left mouse-button when positioned over the current dot, move the mouse and release the mouse-button. This will move the current dot to a new position. However, very small moves will be ignored (to prevent you from accidentally moving a dot when you only want to select it) ## How to use the Path Data (tab) An additional way to see all the points, is the “Path Data” tab. This will show you co-ordinates for all the dots. The current dot is shown with a blue bar. You can use buttons to “Clear All” dots from the path, or to “Delete” the current dot. Usually you won’t need to use this information. You can also click other points in this list, and you’ll see a different dot getting selected in the image. The option “Closed Path” will allow you to automatically add a line between the last and first dot in the path. In the puzzle this will result in a combined number for the first dot, shown as “1/73” ## How to use the additional path settings All the path settings are available in all Connect the Dots editions, however some path settings only make sense when you use multiple paths. * By default you’ll see only the path your editing. By clicking “Show All Paths” (1) you’ll see all the paths for the current puzzle. The other paths will have a lighter color, making it easy to focus on the current path * You can set the name for each path, but typing the name in the Path Name box (2). Especially when you have many paths, this will help you to keep track. (You can save the path settings as a preset, to continue at a later time, or reuse the paths later. Using clear path names will help when you revisit the paths) * For each path you can choose to hide it (meaning: it will not be shown at all) or to use it as an illustration. For an illlustration, the lines will be shown, but the dots and numbers will not be printed * For each path you can choose a tag type (4). By default this is set to ascending numbers, other (future) options are letters or a list of numbers or letters * You can change the font type and size for the tags (5) by clicking on the font preview button or on the small zoom icon next to it * You can choose whether to place all the tags to the right of each dot, or at an automatic position (6). The built-in AI is continuously improving the automatic positioning * You can choose to number continuously, or to start each path at 1 (7). This will totally depend on your puzzle. ## How to use Multiple Paths in Connect the Dots You can create Connect the Dots puzzles with one or more paths if you have the Manual Edition or the SVG Edition. On the Navigation tab you can see a hierarchically ordered list of all the paths. By right-clicking on the navigation panel, you’ll see a popup menu with different options: * “Edit Item”, this will option the “Path Details” tab * “Add Group”, this will add a new empty group. A group is like a folder, it can hold together several paths or subgroups. * “Add Path”, this will add a new path with its own path settings, and optionally its own numbering * “Move Item to Group”, this will let you rearrange paths and groups. After clicking this option you have to click on the group (in the list) to select where to move the current item * “Delete Item”, this will delete the current path or group (including all the items in the group).

You should select an image file in the folder you want to use, and then it will use that folder. The cause of this: This way of selecting files instead of folders is a standard module that's part of Windows. But it's not intuititve the way it works now - although, when you know how it works, you'll quickly forget that it's strange. In POD Pattern Maker you can click the button "Select Folder" at the top left. This will show you the (standard Windows) 'select file' dialog. Navigate to the folder you want to use, open that folder and select any image in the folder (1). Next, click "Open" (2), this will pass the folder information to POD Pattern Maker. Now you should see a list of all the images in your folder: Now you can click on the images at the left to add them to the layer clipboard to create your pattern.
