Some help on cutting my control panel?
« on: August 17, 2008, 09:52:58 pm »
Ok I am finally down to cutting the holes for my control panel. Problem is I dont have any programs to create a good templete for my buttons and joysticks, wondering if someone could wip one up for me in visio. I have a a 2 1\4 trackball, and bought the bundle pack at x-arcade( 20 buttons and 2 joysticks). Ok I need a page of just a bunch of push buttons that I can cut out and put where I need for the pinball, 1 and 2 player buttons ect. Then I need a page with 2 1\4 trackball and 2 push buttons, and the final page I need 1 joystick with 6 buttons( the buttons I need to be angled up). If someone is willing to help me out would be a great help.

I copied the pictures from this site :

And then opened them up in ms paint and moved things around to my liking. I then printed them and measured against a tape measure I had (with mm on it). I then stretched the image in paint until the measurements on the pic matched up with what was actually printed.
