Copenhagen ship curves in DXF or DWG?

 Do you know a site where these curves can be downloaded? I think they are no
more copyrighted?

If you find a source for the dwgs, please post here! I'm interested also.

Thx,
Brian D

 What would you need them for? Their purpose is for fairing a curve and when
you are working with a CAD program the B-spline function takes their place
and does a much better job of it..

Old friend of mine with no computer makes boats and he needs a set of them.
They cost over 350 $ so I thought i would make them with a CNC router.

 Hi
IThen what shuld be the trouble inserting the image into a CAD program
scale it and digitize it ?

 In that case, you could download that picture, import it into Autocad, scale
it and trace the patterns. For refference, I have a set of 8 curves and #43
is 24" long and #59 is 12.5" long.

Should be fairly easy to trace because, unlike French Curves they are made
up of conic sections which is exactly what the non-uniform B-spline
algorythm does.

Hmm... Yes... I have only AutoCad LT. Maybe the tracing could be done also
with CorelDraw and the curves then be imported into AutoCad LT. The quality
of the picture is a bit poor so I hope it does not need lots of rendering.
Never tried that tool... Thanks...

 Skene's Element's of Yacht Design has a much better picture of the
most commonly used of the Copenhagen curves. Scan it, import into
Autocad and trace over the TIF or similar raster image with some splines.

 Hi

Brian D : "Good 2D
and 3D CAD software contains options to do just this, e.g. produce
'developable surfaces' or 'conic section curves'. "

Exactly but please don't forget that with the same computer
"'developable surfaces'" are not restricted to be shaped as slices of
"known geometrics".
I know many have bad experiment with socalled unfolding software but
realy most bad shapes come from free-download limited software , that
can only produce a very rough unfolding ----- fact is that with just a
bit effort you can "unfold" reasoable tight poly mesh , the limitations
most often is in the number of faces allowed by the CAD program a
limitation you can overcome with external files ------ so surely
unfolding are tradisionaly done from "known geometrics" but realy you
don't need to buckle a troubled assembly of cylinders and cone slices
,fact is that you can unfold computer meshes, you don't need to "build
with known geometrics just to unfold.
