I have used the astro city slagcoin layouts many times, and its the one im most used to.

Usually i just print it out and use it as a direct drilling template, Im in the process of designing a new control panel and would like to import the measurements into sketchup - but cant seem to get it right!



Buttons 1-4 (top row, left to right)
Buttons 5-8 (bot row, left to right)

Im looking for relative measurements from the stick, or an already defined button

Button 1: from Joystick: X= 66mm , Y= -38.5mm -18.5mm
Button 2: from Button 1: X = 33mm, Y= -14mm
Button 3: from Button 2: X= 35.5mm, Y = 6mm
Button 4: from Button 3: X = 34mm, Y = 15mm
Button 5: from Joystick: X = 59mm, Y = 14mm
Button 6: from Button 5: X = 33mm, Y = -14mm
Button 7: from Button 6: X = 36mm, Y = 6mm
Button 8: from Button 7: X = 34mm, Y = 15mm

Do those look correct?

PITA isn't it?

I read engineering drawings on most days and I must admit I struggled with parts of it. I drew the array again in AutoCAD. If you give me an hour or so I'll re-dimension it for you.

Thanks Franco

Franco B:

Here ya go mate.

I couldn't find the drawing so I redrew it. I've used the center of the joystick hole as the datum and dimensioned the distances in X on the drawing. To keep the drawing uncluttered I put the distances in Y in a table. Its not technically correct but it should be easier to read than a hundred dim lines all over the place :)
