Hi all im trying to draw vectors for a rainbow using the curved line but finding it alot of work to get a consistent curve. Any ideas or has anyone made these vectors..
Thanks mossy

Re: rainbow vectors
Presumably you're not using PhotoVCarve as that doesn't have any drawing tools.
Try the arc tool to draw the first shape and then use the offset tool to create the the rest of it.

Re: rainbow vectors
Depends on what you're looking for, but you could also use the circular array tool.

Re: rainbow vectors
Mike S can you post the program to make the Rainbow cutout?

Re: rainbow vectors
I use Aspire, so I'm not sure what PVC can do.
For the rainbow, make one arc, then copy 8 times with circular array with origin at lower left.
Cut with V-bit "On Vectors" profile at .1" deep.
Each vector had a different tool path color assigned.
