39mm spot vector graphics (useful for Tina/Anita cards mold?) (3 Viewers)

Finding this thread, noticed my edge spots were progressively slightly off because edge images resized to have overlap by Tina by a small bit (few mm).

Not a big deal and very minimal, but this still the correct dimensioning/people using this vs just 2*pi*r?
Did you use my updated version?
 
When creating ceramic chips, I always use trigonometry to calculate the spots width, etc.
 
todo:
-add more edge spot patterns
-add an alternate set with roughened edge spots (to mimic clay imperfections)
After many years of inactivity, I'm getting back into going down this rabbit hole and @Colquhoun just turned me on to this thread and your file. Thanks you for all your hard work, work in-progress and saving me from having to reinvent the wheel. I made these but haven't gone through the learning curve of how to figure out the length of the edge spots on the rolling edge.

Total length = 2 x pi x r -> pi x 39 (for 39mm chips)

For the second one it's easy. It's the total length / 3.

For the first one, it involves more trigonometry and depends on the width of the spot at 6 o'clock.
 
I am trying to put this together so when someone builds a Paulson chip in the Paulson Utility, it can converted to a Vector .AI size that someone can use to build the chip.

Is there a conversion table that coverts the name of the Paulson Edge spots to the physical size, shape and location of the Edge spot on the chip? example, like Edge Spot Style 5 (312), you can perform a table lookup that indicates the physical size, shape and location of the Edge spot on the chip?

Does something like that Exists? Does a template already exist for Adobe Illustrator for each chip? or an Inkspace template?
