I am trying to print out one of these templates in actual size so I can move it around on my CP and finalize the hole locations. http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html I can not seem to get the one I like to print to exact size? I need all the holes to be 1 1/8th at the very least so I can plan my layout. any help would be awesome. Thanks all. |

--- Quote from: slagcoin ---These images are produced to scale. If you want to print them, note the PPI. For example, the first linked 300 PPI image is 2808 pixels wide. So to make a scale print, make sure the printer prints it 2808 / 300 = 9.36 inches wide. And if you want to change the spacing in the images by a certain scale, multiply this number by an appropriate percent. So for small buttons, 30mm spacing is an appropriate spacing; 30mm / 36.5mm = 82.2%; .822 * 9.36 = 7.69 inches wide. You need to figure how to place the joystick separately if you do this. --- End quote --- If you still can't get it to work, there's always the measurements from the layouts you can use to duplicate them. |

Try printing it from a different program. That friggin windows photo printer helper thing ruins everything :angry: In vista, I used Paint to print out things that I needed actual size. Since they've updated paint for Win7, that might be ruined now too. |
