Thanks all! Figured it out! I was focused on the picture icon before. "Attachments", Oh well, eh!

Anyways, the picture shares the satisfactory results.

All in All, I'm very pleased with the results today! Sorry, but I have no idea how to attach an image to this post, sharing my outcome.

Thanks for your quick response. In fact I was going to use a VCarve with a flat depth of 0.075", just to scratch the lacing into the wood.
My problem is how to make the changes you suggest. I have no idea. I do hope you can shine a bit of light in my direction to solve this issue.

Thanks

I'm trying to make a simple lacing on a football. 1 curved line, 7 cross lines to make up my laces. When I try to calculate a path for this simple situation, I get a report error stating that I have 8 Open Vectors. I go to Join Vectors, and it too shares that 8 are open. Unfortunately, the Join comm...

Another (much easier) method: Rotate the hex 30 degrees. Array copy, one row, many columns, with a .10 gap. Rotate the entire array back 30 degrees. Array copy, one column, many rows, Y Offset 1.10". Delete unwanted hexes. Wonderful ideas here Mike! I will play around with your ideas for sure! BTW,...

LOL...

I just deleted 95% of duplicated hexagons sitting (hiding) on top of one another! (Learning Curve!) that are hiding in that CRV3D file!

What I did to get the .9310 dimension.: ... Thanks Mike for your personal tutorial! I did get lost after 5 or 6, but that is OK! I was able to fight my way through getting the exact pattern I was aiming for, and with my Wife's request of 0.1" between every hexagon! And when push comes to shove, wel...

The Help-Help Contents explains a lot about how each tool and toolpath works. Mike, I am caught off guard here. My wife asked me to change the distance between each hex to 0.1". I sure am missing something understanding setting the distance between each hex. The patterns that are a result of my twe...

A 1" hexagon has a side length of .57737" The vertical distance center to center with a .075" spacing is 1.075". Adjacent columns are offset in Y (1.075")/2=.5375" Adjacent columns are offset in X .9310" With this information, you should be able to array the hexagons.Hexagons.crv Wow! What wonderfu...

Did you use the Array Copy tool?It's on the Drawing tab, under Offset and Layout. Allan Thank you kindly Allan. No, I have never had any use for that tool, and I was thinking in the back of my head that Array had something to do with this. I'll see if I can find a tutorial on how to use the Array T...

I am using Aspire 11.010 Image55.jpg . I am trying to create a board with many Hexagons within. See Attached image. Right now I have about 16 x 21 rows of 1" hexagons on my project (Size of project = 16 x 11 x 1.25in). What my issue is, is the hexagons are nicely placed in the project piece, BUT it ...

Thanks for this info, Vic! Wonderful assistance!

Hi all! I was just wondering where the tutorial files are located? Well, I know that they should be within the Clipart, (I do see the folder, but it is just empty!) but all I'm locating are JPG images for the tutorials, and not the 3DCRV, or any TXT files. Any ideas would be grand! Do I have to figu...

Looks like I solved my problem tonight. My circles were microscopically not aligned correctly! Maybe one of the circles were on the inside edge, and the other 3" was on the outside edge of the 6" circle. I just deleted the project and re-worked the 5 circles. This time all went as planned! If you ge...

Well, I too have this same issue! I decided to bring a few keys along with me for further assistance... Image3.jpg Image4.jpg Image5.jpg Image6.jpg Here, on the last image, it does not show the scissors in action. They are open around the vectors, but they do not cut the vectors of the circle. This ...
