Title: Drilling template....um...template
Post by: k.rock! on June 03, 2011, 02:58:16 PM
Hey dudes/gals!

I know maybe this is something most of you have stumbled upon before, but I thought I should share it here to make it available to others who hasn't seen this before.

This is a 1590BB drilling template from geofex.com:

http://www.geofex.com/FX_images/hmbbtpt.pdf

For a 1590BB is perfect cause he even added some guidelines for optimum hardware placement.

But the cool thing about it, is that if you open this up in a vector program, say Illustrator, you can treat each element in the PDF as an object that you can grab and move wherever you want. Which means, that if you draw a box with your enclosure dimensions, you can just grab however many pots you need, jacks, switches ,etc. and lay them out and use it as your drilling template! :D

So yeah, just thought this was a cool thing to have around when coming up with a layout concept. I should know, I normally whip out my ruler, paper and pencil and start drawing lines and making measurements all over the place :P haha

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this. Now I'll stop eyeing it, at least with the 1590BB enclosures!
