 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

I use the software to design a panel, then I print it and use that as a guide for drilling holes in my own sheet aluminum (aluminium?) After I drill, I paint the panel and apply dry letter transfers. It looks very professional. The software makes it easy to align and correctly space rows of holes. Front Panel.pdf Edited 2024-10-27 20:40 by toml_12953 |

Ah, I use SL6 for PCB panels or nanoCAD 5.0 (the free version) for other mechanical stuff. That's because it's similar to an early AutoCAD version that I used for many years. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

All, Used this software to design a new front panel and rear panel for a 40 year old power supply. Works very nice. I laser printed the test printout, and made it more robust using a plastic foil. Glued on the power supply. Nice...(*) Volhout (8) I even thought for a moment to simply order them online from Schaffner, at a price of 40 eur per (for 3mm thick milled anodized alu, with countersunk screw holes), that was the most professional solution. I still may, but for now I am fine. Edited 2024-12-16 18:21 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |
