    Default Pickguard DXF? Please help!

    Hello!
    I'm really new to working with drawing programs, and I need a outline drawing of my pickguard to be able to laser cnc it... I have a Yamaha EG112 Guitar, which I bought online for almost nothing. I'm renewing it and want to remake the pickguard on a cnc. The problem I have is that I am not able to get a good outline drawing because I don't have the right programs or skill.
    Would someone be willing to create a DXF file of this pickguard for me? I'd be really thankful!

    If you placed the PG on a .25 graph paper you can get a good look of what the vectors become then you could transfer those plotted points to create the PG

    I use CorelDraw X8, but I can't get the angles right in any way because I'm terrible with those type of programs.... I can't seem to make the cutouts on the right spots, even when I've already traced the outline of the pickguard on a piece of paper with 0.5 cm squares. I don't know how to really get it right, that's why I'm reaching out to this community

    Sure I can do that for you.

    Can you get me a photo of it on a solid background? Also add tape measure or something to scale it properly, and lastly be sure the camera is square with the guard.

    If you're too busy... You're not charging enough!

    Would this work? The red squares are 50x50mm each

    Is this a trace of the original? If so can I get pic of it set up the same as the outline?

    Ok one last request. It makes it ten times easier if it has a high contrast. Can you take one last photo of it on a black background. I'll be sure to get it to you before our weekend is over lol.

    Here is what I came up with. It is not an exact fit, best I can tell. The holes will need resized some as well as the overall shape may need stretched to get a drop on fit.

    The Outlined grid photo was pretty close. Just about 2mm or so larger at the bottom right so the camera must have bee a tad closer to the top left (square photos are not easy to take by hand).

    If you need more editing just lest me know and I'll do what I can!

    I have about 30 DXF pick guard files.
    Problem is when I upgraded to Windows 10, I can't use Autocad anymore.
    Any ideas?
    You fix it for me, I'll make it right for you

    You can make/view DXF files using programs like CorelDraw, I'm just terrible at using the programs

    I'm terrible at paying retail for programs.
    I'm pretty sure I have that pick guard file.
    Upgrade to W10 was just stupid.
    Mastercam X5 still works, Solid Works is gone along with Autocad.

    I should be able to help. Put them in a zip file and upload them and I'll take a look. What format do you need?

    Are you asking for AutoCad and Solid Works in a zip file?
    Thanks
