So, I am planning to build Christian Derefat Vortex, but I wasn't a big fan of the panel layout. 

I imported the vectors into InkScape, a free/open source illustration program (for those of you that didn't know).  I removed the panels and migrated objects onto different layers.  The sail is just an outline now, ready for me to draw panels at will in InkScape.

Because I can't be the only one who is interested in doing this, I figured it might be nice to make the SVG file available to anyone who wants it.

Here's a link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByqX3sN1GD_PVTRPbjlNUjVpc2M

The link points to a file that is available to anyone with the link.  You can get a copy of Inkscape from http://www.inkscape.org

I left in the fabric grain markings from the original pattern so you can use them as a guide for your own panels. 

The page size is now 54 inches by 36 inches, so plotting will require a 36" wide plotter, but in the USA that's a pretty common size.

Enjoy!
