Drawing a spiral
Is there a easy way to draw a spiral ? Like a dot in the middle and then just keep going around until desired size.
Thank You

Re: Drawing a spiral
You can download a free program, Inkscape; it has a spiral tool. You can save the file as an *.eps or *.pdf and import it into Vectric. Can't get much easier
Here are a couple pics, the spiral created in Inkscape and imported into Vcarve, shown in node edit mode.

Re: Drawing a spiral
I have played with this for a little bit but I thought instead of waisting time I would just ask.I drew a spiral in inscape saved it as a pdf and png. When I imported it to Aspire there are two lines or alot of individual pieces.When I hit node editing there are tons of nodes????
Thank You

Save it as an .eps file and it will be much better.
