In Response To: Strip: TABLE OF OFFSETS (warren)

Warren,
I'm building the guillemot from the table of offsets in Nick's book. I plotted up the forms using Microsoft Visio (used a macro function to place dots from 0,0 coordinate). the program shows how each page (11.5x8 inch regular sheet) cuts off each form, and I placed a little cross at each corner of each page. that way, you can cut them out, and tape them together. I tried using excel, but it doesn't print out to scale (i.e. 1 inch does not equal one inch). I also didn't have the time to learn how to do it in CAD.

This was a lot easier than taking a ruler and figuring out what 1.23 inches left was on a ruler.
