I am attempting to write a program for a cribbage board for three lanes of holes with 12 sets of five. The three lines inside the profile are for the hole sets. This board will eventually be a Yin Yang format and will play one lap around. I will attempt to attach the Vcarve file. I am hoping one you fellows will be able to help me out with some info.

I would like to help you, but you would need to export the file in eps format.

Bob,
I don't know how to convert this into EPS format

Kruizer,
That's easy:
1. Open your drawing in VCarve
2. select (highlight the drawing)
3. go to the File pull down menu (upper left corner of the screen)
4. Select export
5. Select EPS
6. Then specify where to save the file and what file name to use
7. After it is saved, you can post it using the same method as when you posted your crv file. Just post the eps file instead.

this should be the one

Kruizer,
Here's what you can do:
decide how many holes you want and how many spaces you want.
Add the spaces and holes together.
This will give you a total number of holes to copy along a vector.
In your drawing, place one hole on the vector where you want to start.
Select the copy along a vector icon. (it looks like a short string of beads)
Select the hole you drew, hold down the shift key and select the vector it's on
After both are highlighted enter the number of times you want it copied. (I chose 76 for this)
Select copy.
The holes will be copied along the vector.
Why the extra holes? They are acting as place holders for the spaces. So just delete the holes wherever you want a space.
I'll PM the file to you. If you need more information, let me know.
Also, be sure to post a picture of your finished work.

Bob,
Thanks for that but what I am trying to create is 12 sets of holes that are 3 wide by 5 long with a space between them. On a regular cribbage board these would appear in a uniform rectangular format. In my project, the rectangle would be curved to fit the contours and the rows of holes would be perpendicular to the tangent at each point they appear. I hope this all makes sense

Kruizer,
Since each contour is of different length, the spacing of the holes will also be different . I may have to try plan B.
I'll keep you posted.
