New File panel available.

Thank a lot Deadman! you avoid repeating the same thing. :book:

 

I made some panels for me with a font that matches the panels of the F16.

It suits me very well and I decided to share my work with everyone, I spent a lot of time to make them but it helps a lot of people I think.

 

And upcoming will have the same fonts.

Hi, R1

 

What material did you use for the cover? (The black on top and sides)

 

[Deadman]

Hey No problem you have done some great work . Most of the panels in the A-10 C use the same font the MS 33558

Hi Swaty,

 

I've put my answer here not to mix topics:

Thanks for posting those panel designs - they are very helpful. Can you add one for the UHF radio?

[JCook]

Was wondering if you have done CDU or UFC panels yet?

:-)

[danipelos]

You can use his UHF radio panel for the Viper. You can find it in http://www.checksix-fr.com/

I'd like to use try your files and create some panels with the laser cutter. The machine's software can read eps files so no problem there - however it doesn't like the black "fill" of the panels. I think yours are designed for printing out on paper - so obviously the panels are black. Is it possible to get these without the black fill - just the lines, circles and text?

 

My version of Corel Draw does not have PowerTrace so I can't modify them using that.

 

Would this be difficult to convert - can anyone assist?

 

Thanks

I need a CDU and Aux Nav Panel in this format.

[saskcan]

Hi, thank you for the panel drawings! I have a question regarding the aux. lighting panel... I know that the rule of thumb is the panel side lengths are multiples of DZUS spacing (9.53 mm) and from other inspections I came to the conclusion that the left side of the aux lighting panel was 12U (114.36mm) and the right side was 13 mm (123.89) Can you confirm these measurements? I see the left side in your model is about 1/2cm longer than 12U. Is this correct? I know that the console 'bends' at this point. Is this the reason for the difference? Thank you

JCook,

 

I know I'm coming to the party late but have you tried just opening the pdf file in Corel? My version can open them and edit just like any other vector format. :)

 

I have done a few but unless Reactorone says it's cool I won't post them. They are his baby after all. :)

If I get motivated I can convert them later this week using AI.

[JCook]

Thanks guys, but since I posted that I've learned how to open these properly in CorelDraw - got it all figured out.

 

Thanks.

[nobrot]

Just stumbled across this thread whilst searching for panel dimensions, tying to lay out the panel design/worflow from Autodesk Maya -> Vector Render -> CamBam -> Gcode, but if anyone has prepped vector files then that would save me a ton of time...

 

Either way, invaluable source, many thanks and kudos to the OP!!

[Deadman]

Just remember these are not necessarily to scale or the appropriate size for some panels

Understood DM... but I can scale vector drawings before converting to Gcode.. its the grind of converting to vector files I am hoping to avoid!

 

Ordering my CNC machine this week.. so ramping up :)

Nobrot, any reasonable software should be able to take these PDF files and import them directly as vectors.

 

I have looked at these files and they are indeed in vector format with correct MM sizes. By that, I dont mean that they may be accurate for each panel but the files have the sizes in them that reactorone intended so if you printed the pdf 1:1 it would come out correct and if you import it to your software it should also come out correct.

 

PDF's are essentially vector files although they can encapsulate other content.

Thank you for that explanation. I ordered Brydling's board last week and started looking into the gruling task of re-drawing all of these PDF's. thinking to myself "Why PDFs???" Guess it makes sense now. what a maroon...
