In times of Centangel, coloring books for adults, even dot-to-dot pictures are once again modern. The number pictures of today have nothing to do with the simple and easy to guess number pictures from the last millennium. Numbers over 1,000 are not uncommon.

And if you take a closer look, such dot-to-dot images are close to the manual vectorizing of photos, which we do to free photos from their information load.
Or if the polyline is already in place, the work is similar to setting position numbers.

Easily create dot-to-dot images in Corel DESIGNER

1. Import and lock a photo or illustration as a template.
2. Select the Callout Tool.
3. Set text source to increment.
4. Adjust properties (initial arrowhead, halo, distance, text properties) of the Callout.
5. Set the first and second node of the callout line close to each other, so there is almost only one node. The position from the first to the second mouse click also determines the position of the number to the dot. The numbers are automatically incremented.
6. Assign a dot and number to all important spots of the template.

When exporting as a dot-to-dotimage, it is useful to place the line and numbers on separate layers.
