Title: CP layout question
Post by: johnd23 on May 23, 2010, 02:17:43 am
Alright I have a couple questions on my cp layout that I am working on. I am doing a 7 button layout, 6 button plus the umk3 run button. All the buttons are 1.5" apart from each other (center to center). Does that look right or should the run button be a little further away?

In google sketchup i created my control panel layout, is it possible to print it out in 2d full scale? Or would I have to redo it in photoshop or something similar?

1.5'' center to center on buttons is whats standard i think. thats what i did and it seems pretty perfect

Personally I tried a bunch and found the hori to be the best.  Just use cardboard and test them out, its the fastest way to know.
