The board is 24in X 24in 3/4in. I’m still learning this machine and find it complicated. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like Carbles. I am working on my version at this very moment.
Try this one out.

Someone will likely help you. However stretching yourself is the only way to improve your skill. Everyone fails but failure breeds success in the long run.
This is pretty straight-forward — what are the dimensions?
Using @briandobo 's file:
we get 12" x 12":
which seems a reasonable starting point:
We start by importing the pixel image to set as the Background:
and adjusting size and placement:
It is then a straight-forward matter to draw a circle:
and align it to the center of the stock:
The Linear Array feature works best from bottom-to-top and left-right, so we draw a rectangle to match the stock size:
Select everything:
and Mirror Vertically:
and then use Linear Array to replicate as needed:
We then use Circular Array:
to make duplicates:
OK
Drawing in the balance of the parts is similar:
OK
and the added parts may be replicated in their new positions in various way, e.g., by copy-pasting in-place:
shift-clicking on the surrounding rectangle:
and using Mirror Vertical again:
Select again:
copy-paste in-place to duplicate:
shift-click on the rectangle to add it to the selection:
and Mirror Horizontal:
Select again:
and copy-paste in-place:
shift-click on the rectangle to add it to the selection:
and Rotate
Done
The diagonals may be made by positioning a circle:
and making a Linear Array:
nand adjusting the number and spacing:
OK
then deleting what is not wanted:
(Arranging these on a suitable arc is left as an exercise for the reader)
Its a 24" X 24" X ¾ thick MDF
Im looking for an exact copy of the pic , its a family game we have been playing for years. I need one done before my Dad passes. my Mom loved this game so my Dad wants one . thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Then, draw a square between two circles to get the corner/central origin for the arcs:
and use Move:
to get the origin (0.8594 x 0.8594 in.)
The square may then be deleted or undone.
Select a circle:
and use Circular Array:
to make the duplicates for the arcs:
adjusting to an arc of a suitable number of degrees:
then adjusting the quantity:
OK
Remove the duplicate:
(alternately, the math could have been done to determine the arc necessary for 14 elements)
Then select the elements which need to be duplicated:
and again use Circular Array:
Labeling the text/numbers is then done for one fourth:
by setting the text, positioning, and rotating as need be:
The easiest way to get consistent positioning is to copy-paste to duplicate:
then drag into position:
then delete the duplicated circle:
and edit the text:
Repeat until one arrives at:
selecting all the text and using Circular Array:
Then adjust the size:
Select everything:
Scale
Done
Drag into registration:
Adjust the placement/rotation of elements as desired, then apply suitable toolpaths — I suspect you’ll want a pocket with a reasonable size ball-nose tool for the circles, and a V carving for the text.
Fortunately, there is a specific selection for circles:
which may then be grouped:
Then everything else selected:
and the rectangle removed from the selection:
and the text grouped:
and then a V-carving toolpath assigned:
For the circles:
A Pocket Toolpath with an 8mm ball-nose tool should work well:
(the depth may need to be adjusted)
which previews as:
Probably the stepover will need to be adjusted as well.

You are seriously Awesome!
Once again, above and far beyond
It’s just a part of the Carbide 3D experience.
If you have any difficulties with the job setup/machining, let us know at support and we will do our best to assist.
Once you have successfully cut one and when you feel up to it, please post a picture — if you wish, you may put this up on CutRocket, I’m sure folks would enjoy seeing it there.
I certainly will. Thanks again.
