My neighbor does all of her decorating with pig art. She has asked me to cut out a Christmas pig decoration. She wants to mount a string of 100 lights 1 inch inside the perimeter of the pig shape. The shape is approximately 20" x 30"
The profile is pretty easy I have a shape I can work with. The question I have is about spacing the holes for the lights.
How can I locate 100 evenly spaced holes along an irregular shape without spending hours on the drawing?
I have Corel Draw, VCarve and Part Wizard to work with.
Christmas pig with 100 lights
Re: Christmas pig with 100 lights
Phil if you post a file, I'll do it in AutoCad...measure the perimeter, divide by 100 then space two holes that distance then use copy and OS Snap to positon.....I'm sure there must be a dxf of a pig out there somewhere that she would like.Phil wrote:My neighbor does all of her decorating with pig art.
