Array of Objects with non equal intervals

[samjenp]

Hi everyone
I’m making a guitar Fret board.
I need to cut the fret slots and was wondering if there is a way to draw the slots at non equal intervals based on a formula?

i.e. each cut is one of 22 recurring, identical slots (like the Array option), but not evenly spaced.

so the Individual spacing between each slot is based on a standard formula found here

I could suppose I could use the copy array function to draw the slots, then manually move them to their positions based on each value provided by the formula, but its tedious and prone to error.

Is there a way to create an array of items with spacing based on a formula or values loaded from a spread sheet or external file?

Do a search on "Guitar Fret Board Maker". It's a gadget.

Please look at this thread: Guitar fret board maker - Aspire 9.5

It works with the current release as well.

I have been using the fret position calculator at https://www.stewmac.com/fretcalculator.html set up for acoustic guitar spacing for my weird guitars to use with the Aspire (or Vcarve Pro) offset tool. I then print the page.

I have a straight vector drawn at the zero fret position of my CAD file and use the numbers from the calculator to select the zero fret vector and offset a copy of the vector to each fret location.

I use a 60 degree Vbit to make marker lines across the fret board at the correct positions. Then use a guitar fret saw to cut the Vcarved lines to depth by hand. An 0.023" fret cutter end mill will do it better and quicker. I have a couple of them, but am hesitant to use one for fear of breaking them.

This is how I have done it long before a gadget was created and placed on this site.
