Can Someone Please Design This Template For Me

[a.train77]

Hey, so I have a 1032L enclosure, and I need a template for it having 4 switches, 4 LEDs, and 4 output jacks. However, I don't know how to design on the blank templates, and I need it by tomorrow morning. So if someone could quickly design it for me, it would be greatly appreciated! Here's a link to the blank template, just click the 1032L under the list of templates! http://www.mammothelectronics.com/category-s/187.htm

Just download the template, print it out, check it's printed the correct size, decide where you want your components to go, mark the positions on the template, done.

^ yeah, use a pencil and ruler.

But if I do it with a pencil and ruler will it the accurate enough?

Accurate enough for what?

Like will the points be accurate enough so it stuff doesn't look slightly off when I drill.

That all depends on you, unfortunately I am incapable of drilling the enclosure perfectly something always gets boned.

Drawing/measuring is easy, drilling pesents a multitude of challenges if you lack the proper tools and the knowledge on how to use them properly and even then things can go amuck.  Essential tools; quality sharp drillbits, something to turn them, center punch and something to hit it with.

If the holes are drilled slightly oversize you can shift the switches to get them to line up perfectly, as long as the holes are close to perfect in the first place. You can use a file to reshape the holes, exaggerate a side so there's room nudge the switch into perfect alignment.

You could always wing it freehand make it look like they're suppose to be off, make it a design element rather than an oops. Lots of very cool asymmetrical layouts in the picture thread.

+1 on pencil and ruler. Works like a charm. I find centimetres and milimetres are much easier to work with as you can do the math so much easier.
