John deere B

[BrianMick]

hey guys just wondering if anyone has a file of a John Deere B (with a square seat) kind of like this pic
thanks Brian

Here's one I did from a photo I took. It's a side view of almost the same tractor.

[SignTorch Vector Art]

I included two versions, tractor006= is normal with all closed paths, tractor006~ is a new style (for me) with single line open paths.

I included 2 DXF styles, the DXF folder contains my normal DXF with all polyline segments, the DXF# folder has DXF with arcs which is new for me and has not been tested on many platforms yet.

I've been trying to improve the sort order, directionality, and start point locations, but that is prooving to be quite difficult and still not turning out quite as good as I'd like.

Feel free to use these, but please do not share elsewhere, unless you keep the zip file intact and give credit to SignTorch.

Thanks Gary, great files.

Gary I looked at the files in .cmx format and like both of them. They both would cut well on my table but my preference would be the second with arcs. But it would depend on what the end use would be, size of the piece, and how it was mounted really.

Only the DXF has arcs. The other vector formats have all bezier curves. I say it's better to use one of the non-dxf formats when possible because it is definitely smoother than DXF to start with, but only some CNC software can import non-dxf vectors, and then most vector software cannot export a decent DXF. Any conversion from vectors to DXF will depend on the software being used, whether it comes out as segments or arcs, and some software generates DXF with way too many small segments.

The DXF with arcs have a few odd nodes practically on top of each other in places, and some arc pairs are not tangent continuous. My assumption is that arcs work better than segments, but I wonder whether those imperfect arcs cause any noticeable problems.

Historically, I only published segmented DXFs because they seem to work in all software. I will be posting more test images with arcs to uncover any issues before I fully adopt arcs. Any feedback on how they work compared to segments, and whether any arc imperfections cause any problems will be most helpful.
