[sdiy] panel design software? (repost)

[Paul Higgins]

I sent this message a few days ago, but the network here at the 
University of Minnesota was pretty smashed by the Blaster worm at the 
time, and my mail account has been acting weird until recently.  I 
think my message got lost out there in the ether somewhere, and it has 
yet to show up on DIY.  So here we go again...

(original message follows):

I was just wondering what types of software (if any) DIYers use to 
create panel designs.  I have used a few different things, the Corel 
Draw graphics suite in particular, but I can't figure out a very 
elegant way to make dial graduations (e.g. subdivide the 270 degree 
rotation of a pot into a 0-10 scale).  Has anyone figured out how to do 
this in a way that is repeatable and quick without having to set up the 
pattern manually (very time-consuming) and then cut-and-paste it for 
all the pots?

It would be especially helpful if the software is available for 
Macintosh OS X, although I also run Virtual PC and Linux on my Mac.

Thanks,
-PRH
