On the TECH section of my site there are some PDF files (NOT 1:1, though) 
that will give dimensions for the holes and typical spacings used on MOTM 
panels.

I am working with a large front panel. I want to trace out a bunch of pots 
and toggles.
I dont know if there is a program for doing this or if there are templates 
somewhere i can download that i can lay on top of my panel and then drill or 
make marks?

How do you all do this??

I have been just eyeing it for too long... end up with crooked pots, not 
enough finger room, and other problems like things not fitting and ending up 
with too many holes.

I am ready to do this right.

I want to use the larger spacing of MOTM ...it doesnt need to adhere to that 
standard but i want to leave more room than FRAK allows. bigger knobs,etc.


thanks for any advice.
