use your imagination. use one of the 6 button slagcoin layouts and it shouldnt be too much difficulty to lay out the 7th button.

let me ask, do you have a digital caliper? if not, get one. a caliper will allow you to measure center to center exactly how far apart you want your buttons to be, and wherever from the center of a button you want your next button to be, you can go in a complete circle and place it there. thats how i did my layout, although i usually use the caliper for measuring electronics connectors i need,

it also worked great for my cp layout.

You can just use a compass too.  You don't really need digital calipers.  Determine where your first button goes and the spacing between buttons.  Then set you compass to that distance and lock it in place.  If you simply draw an arc or a straight line, you don't even need those templates.

BUT, the templates are much easier to use since you can just print them and drill right through.  The choice is yours.  I was just trying to give you an option if you don't want to spend the money for calipers is all. :)

i second the compass idea.  you can pick one up at walmart for $1 if you dont already have one lying around.  they work very well and let you have complete control over where your buttons go
