Thats why my top is so ridiculously small (normal archtops are 16 to 18 inches at their lower bout). Your guitar outline rocks, by the way.įunny how this thing looks like the new Sears Compucarve Īs has already been stated, I don't think it would support anything as big as a guitar top.sdantonio, the CarveWrigth IS the Sears Compucarve. There was no where I could see that I could tell the program what radius I wanted my 'domed' surface carve.Ĭan you post either here or on the CW board an archtop or fingerboard? I think if I could just see how something like that is done it might push me off the fence to buy one. Heck, I couldn't see how to tell it to give me a simple radiused fret board. Designer also seems not to have any lofting tools that would allow you to set cycloid curves for the top. I have no idea how you got the thing to do compound curves. The 'arch' and 'spline' tools lack bezier control handles that are standard in drawing and CAD programs for determining curves. I have to admit, I don't know how you got your outline to begin with. (For those not familiar with Corel Draw, v2 is an early 90's version. As one person put it on the CW forum, 'It's like Corel draw v2, only more limited'. I think with a little testing via the print mode, the pockets should be to tolerance.You can? I spent hours on the demo version and it seemed very limited to me.

The real question is can you get a carved top from the software.I can get a archtop shape with recurve into designer with some playingĪround.
