I saw a question about scrolls and reminded me of a Excel program my son made for me. It will draw a scroll of your settings. You can print it out and scan it or print it to a file and import it. That part is up to you. I hope it helps. Now let hope I saved it to the right format.

Re: Scroll drawing Excel file
That program is very cool, I also do forged ironwork it would be useful if the program also told you how much stock is needed for scroll, so after you draw the scroll it would tell how many inches it is. just a idea....

Re: Scroll drawing Excel file
I always just use part of the scroll drawing for the shape I need and draw the rest. I use Pcam and it can tell you the cut length. There are a few good wrought iron programs out there but the cost is up there too. If you make a lot of it the cost would be worth it. If I had to pick one, it would be the one from irondrawing.com
