    What program and how?

    Hope I'm in the right place.
    I want to inkjet print a linear scale on decal material to apply on a cylinder; degree marks. My problem is how to draw it and what program to use. I can array lines but that can lead to small errors due to inaccurate distance unless I describe the distance to a high number of decimal places. I'm thinking that I need to create a rectangle that measures the total circumference of the cylinder and subdivide it, placing a line at each division. But what program will do that? Or is there another way, a better way.
    I have several CAD programs, a couple drawing programs, Artcam, etc.
    If I'm not at the correct forum, where should I go?
    Thanks,
    Ozzie

    you can try inkscape...

    from autocad you can adjust printing very precisely

    draftsigth also makes good printing..
    in draftsigth use plot command
