I need help to make a drawing of a regulator clock dial!
I have tried corel draw and Visio etc. but I cant firgure out how to
make the 12 hour and 60 min division chapter rings.
I am using a HEIZ 720 router for engraving work in brass plates.
Is there a "simple" way to do this?

Thanks for your help!
I can use some material but i beleive I need to figure out how
to make my own designs. Anybody familiar with the Corel Designer program?
It seems powerful.

I have used Corel for a few years, but switched to Adobe Illustrator - not because it is any better, but if you stick with Adobe products then they all play together nicely. However, I still prefer to work in Rhino because my brain likes CAD type functions instead of illustration/drawing functions.
If you are looking for something free, take a look at the OpenOffice package at www.openoffice.org The computers at work run under Linux instead of Windows. The OpenOffice package is free and is a good substiture for Microsoft Office. Of interest to you would be the "Draw" program. It is vector based. Give it a shot for a couple evenings and see if you like it.
