| Autocad Library? |
| (1/8) > >> |

I know there are at least a few Autocad users, and there has been some talk about starting a standard library of parts. How many people have already started their own? Who else would like to have a standard library? i'm just curious. |

It would sure be helpful for me. I'm designing my first control panel and I can't be very specific about it until my happ order arrives so I can get all the dimensions for joystics, etc. Not really sure how much room they require underneath the panel. Actually now that I'm writing this it occurs to me that I could just check the exploded and mounting views on Happ's website. Nevertheless, a standard library would be nice 8) |

Can't add anything very useful to this, because I don't use AutoCAD. I designed my Control Panel in CorelDraw and made the drawings for the Buttons, Joysticks and Trackball from the measurements given at Happs. This worked pretty well. I read somewhere that these measurements aren't 100 percent accurate, but maybe they corrected this in the meantime or whatever. After designing the Panel I mirrored the drawing, printed it and glued it (with spray-glue) to the backside of the panel. All drilling and cutting was then made through the paper. No problems and really easy to do. Of course, this is only poor mans 2-dimensional-CAD, but if someone is interested, I'll mail the drawing with the parts. All measurements in cm not inch. RubbrDug |

It definately would come in handy for anyone designing their own control panel. I can help provide measurements but I don't know how to build a library yet. -Ace- |

When I built my control panel I used Autocad 2002. I read every single example on the examples page and this one was the one I collected my button and joystick drawings from. http://www.cryptnet1.net/mame/download/index.html Great cabinet and a great starting point for a library. |
