Multi-Williams CP layout needed
« on: December 27, 2006, 08:15:34 am »
I'm going to convert my Moon Patrol cab (it's empty) to a Multi-Williams. 

The standard CP uses a Robotron, Stargate, etc CP which is wide enough to use the standard overlay.

I'm going to have to trim one down to size.

But first I need to do some woodworking and drill my control panel holes.

I downloaded the CPO from LocalArcade in hopes of using it as a template, but for whatever reason it chops off the first three inches off the left hand side.

Anyone?  I'd like to get this party started.  All I need is the measurements.

Hey Peale! I just did a multi-williams layout using the CPO from localarcade also. I had 16" to work with and this is what I came up with:



You'll notice I did some editing of the file from localarcade since I had to reduce the size. If I had to do it all over again, I would put the second joystick to the far right and mount the defender buttons in the middle.

The original image from Localarcade is 16" right? You might want to try printing half the image on one peice of paper and the other half on another sheet and taping them together to get an idea of where you should drill. You could also take it to Kinkos and have them print you off a black and white on 11x17 - shouldn't cost but a couple bucks.

If I could get one half or the other, I wouldn't be asking here.  ;)

I can get the *right* half, plus quite a bit on the left no problem

But not the left.

Funny thing is, I can preview the image and see the entire thing.

This would likely not be a problem if I had Illustrator.

I've tried in Adobe Reader and Adobe Photoshop Elements with the same results.

You can download a free 30 day trial of illustrator from Adobe to work with the MW_CP.AI
I tried it and it displays the file properly.      Unfortunately I don't know illustrator so not sure
how to pull out the info you need.

What I had to do was in photoshop - cut the image in half and print just half a time. Visio will span multiple pages if you print. Like this:

Are you saying that no matter what you do, you cannot print the left half? The same thing was happening to me until I realized photoshop was cutting it off and I had to cut the image in half.

When I can get a copy, I'll try Illustrator.
