Are there any templates that are sized to print at actual size?  I'm trying to smush some stuff together and am too lazy to make my own.  I'd like to just print them out, cut them out, then play with them like paper dolls... I mean... well... that is what I mean.

--- edit ---

I changed the topic.

NOTE:  These print roughly to scale.  Read thread for details.

Templates for... ???

I saw a cab template that printed out on like 48 sheets in a .pdf file.  You just stuck 'em all together and cut on the dotted line.

No clue where it was, though.

But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Which ones you want???  I'll pull em into ACAD, and make .pdfs at a 1:1 scale.

I need something to do for the next hour at work.

Wait, those are 3d models, no???  I figured you wanted the layout of the penetrations you would make in the CP.

Need more input.

Excellent.  Just these:

Happ Controls Horizontal Pushbutton
Happ Controls Competition
Happ Controls Top Fire Super
Betson-Imperial 3"

They're *supposed* to have the 2-D drawing in there too. <- That's what I need.

--- edit ---
I need the fooprint above & below the panel so i can move stuff around and squish it all together.  It's a PITA to hold my cardboard model and the buttons etc.  I could bash them through the cardboard, but it makes moving stuff around tough  ;).

Try these:

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/emccarron2/controls.zip

For some reason, the conversion to .pdf munged up the scale a bit - the two drawings were off by like an eighth inch when printed, so I wouldn't use em for drilling.

Is this what you were looking for???  I basically took a top view, transparent, so you can see above and below at the same time.

You have to register, but it's a pretty accurate viewer program, and free...

Yeah for cardboard layouts that's perfect!

I piled together a bunch of buttons that *should* print to (rough) scale.  It looks like the print is ~1/8" larger diameter than an actual button, so like you said, don't drill with these, just use them for moving around a layout.

Thanks!
