artwork template needed please.
« on: December 18, 2010, 10:45:31 am »
good morning all.

I am in the process of designing a CP overlay for my MAME build. I have basic skills in P-shop, enough to get most of the job done. The area I need help with is size/scale.


I am looking for a "template" for a 33" showcase cabinet's control panel.  I do not need any art on it, but I need a starting point to make sure my size is good when it comes time to print.  I am not sure if I am explaining this correct so I will try in other wording....I pic or p-shop file that displays the correct (actual) size for a 33" showcase cab.  If anyone has made a MAME CP for one of these here, you can open it in p-shop and erase all the art and send to me/upload for me, or do not erase the art...I can do that.

Any help or ideas are appreciated.

thank you

Pharoah,

I don't have anything specific for the Showcase, but if you can supply me the exact size of the CP I think I can help you out.

All things being symmetrical, the measurements could be:

top

8.496323 ~ 8-1/2"

bottom:

8.583232 ~ 8-1/2" ??


17 inches total depth? I'd be off by a 1/4" So much for my edumacation. ;) :dunno

I will get that measurement for you as soon as I get home. I am at my parents for X-mas and will be back home on the 29th.


Thanks for the help and MERRY X-MAS!!!!!!
