Has anyone created a pattern for the "linker Logs"?
It was illustrated in American Woodworker magazine Oct/Nov 2012 issue.
The original design came from http://blog.modernmechanix.com/plywood-play-planks/ in 1953.

Also http://www.linkerlogs.com/Smithfield.html

I see the design for the shopbot machine at http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?114502-Linker-Logs

Thought it would be fun to run it on my CarveWright!

This is one done on the Shopbot, but there is nothing about it that couldn't be done on the CW. It was at the Saint Louis Woodworking Show.

Yes I saw that but the files are in a dfx format and need to be converted. I do not know how to do that. Is there a tool/software that will convert the cad diagrams or is the capability built into the CarveWright software?
