Here is a simple tool for creating holes for a pegboard:
https://wmd-glowforge.github.io/pegBoardGenerator/
Edit: Here the source link to GitHub:
The whole thing was started in this thread:
Here is what I threw together quickly after work:
holegenerator (v1.0.0).zip (3.4 KB)
I will try to get it hosted on GitHub like before.
I measured my own pegboard for default. It had quarter inch holes spaced one inch apart, so I made that the default.
Edit: It is now hosted here: Pegboard Hole Generator

Let me know if you run into any issues. I threw it together pretty quick.

It was really simple; most of the work had already been done on the Text2Vector app.

That may be true, but it was still very nice of you. And thank you, as I am sure I can find a use for it as well.

Wow, that’s great! Say, I’m puzzled by the size and distance options. Could you explain a bit more? I can’t quite figure out how those values give you the result you get.

Default SVG scale is 96dpi.

@eflyguy is correct, those numbers are in pixels and the default is 96 DPI.
Size is the diameter of the hole, and Distance is the space between the centers of the circles.
I thought about having an option to change measurements, but I threw it together so fast that didn’t make into the first version.

That is awesome! (I actually had that on my list of maybe-get-around-to projects this weekend, you beat me to it!)

Are there any other common pegboard sizes that I could add for standard sizing selections?

All I found was 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4.

I assume those are hole sizes (diameter) in inches. Were they all at 1" intervals?

Plugboards, on the other hand, have many shapes and sizes, but are difficult to laser…
