Hi David , Thank you for your time ; detail is over and above what I require. I opened it in Adobe illustrator and then exported it out into Coreldraw to create the attached PDF - obviously there appears to be a stretch occurring - am assuming this is unintentional ? Have you got a global version ? e-mail is sales@blowzone.co.uk . Not sure about the relevance of your last comment to my project. Would this work as a cut out for the project do you think ? Kind Regards iestyn sorry ; pdf attached

Iestyn, Take a look at the attached. You'll find a DXF file of the Americas projected to World Equidistant Cyclindrical. The whole file takes me over the amount I can send thru the forum, if you send me your email address I'll try sending it from home. I think the level of detail is sufficient for the size you're working to, let me know what you think. I could also add a bounding box as a N-S guide for position if that would help.

Hi Iestyn, What you're asking for is straightforward, a couple of questions: Would you want to show country borders or simply landmasses? And out of interest, how are you going to handle locating all the islands? David Hi David , Thank you for your reply ; I just want to show landmasses. As regards choosing what to leave in and what to ignore, in terms of island detail, we will be just representing the larger Islands. If I were able to get hold of the map in dxf format I would have to edit what we are and are not going to use , before sending the file to the laser cutters. All landmasses will be bonded to the stainless globe with an aviation strength 2 part epoxy, then further drilled, tapped and pinned with small brass grubscrews. Kind Regards iestyn

I wonder if anyone can help me please ? I have just been commissioned to produce 2 large water features for a prestigious project. At the centre of each sculpture there will be 2 x 580 mm diameter stainless steel hemispheres welded together. Once welded together to form a sphere the intention is to use a world map in 2mm brass, cut on a CNC machine, which is then to be hand beaten into a 580 mm concave former, then applied and fixed to the stainless steel globe. My problem is finding the correct map to use, that when cut flat and hand formed gives me the best results in fitting correctly to the globe. I need a world map in 2D that can be exported as a dwg or dxf, for use directly with the CNC software. I have already been advised that the correct map may be the Equidistant Cylindrical or Plate Carree, although I cannot find this on the web in sufficient detail or as a downloadable file. I would greatly appreciate any constructive advice Regards iestyn davies - www.contemporarychandeliercompany.co.uk
