Timing Belt linear pattern along a curve

Post by Coljay »

Hello

I have limited CNC drawing knowledge and want to know how to create a linear pattern around a curve and straight line. I want the current drawing to be in a closed loop

I use it to do drawings and special designs on timing belts, but can only do straight line drawings thus far. This is the limited knowledge I have taught myself so far

Is there a way to convert my drawing into a closed loop.
So in other words i want the belt to be viewed like it is going around two pulleys.

the response I have receive thus far has not helped in figuring out how to do this.
