Hello,

I want to make drawings of lampshades for cutting machine.

Could someone tell me how I can do it?

Thanks in advance,  
Damian

I’m not a pro but I think you could simply do this with spines, lines, and arcs.

if you have an image you can import it and adjust your splines/lines to match the image.
