Drilling isn't a problem with the right software. As long as the board
comes out accurately to size, alignment isn't much of a problem.
All I do is find the positions of two diagonally opposite pads by
visually aligning the drill with the pads. I then enter those
coordinates into my software <
http://www.sheetcam.com/> and it
automatically shifts/rotates the drawing to match. As long as your
visual alignment is reasonably accurate the results are excellent. As an
experiment I deliberately stuck a board on the machine 45 degrees out of
line. It made no visible difference to the final result.
