Its setting up the dpi (dots per inch) setting in the art program you are using.
for instance if you're using 300dpi  and you draw a line that is 300 pixels, and you then print it to1:1 scale, your printed line will be one inch.

What program do you plan to use?

There are also good templates online.
This site has some good arcade templates http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html (http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html)

remember there is a forum catagory here for skjukebox
good luck
