reactorone Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 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.

Deadman Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 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 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.

JCook Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ReactorOne Thanks for posting those panel designs - they are very helpful. Can you add one for the UHF radio? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCook Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Was wondering if you have done CDU or UFC panels yet? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danipelos Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You can use his UHF radio panel for the Viper. You can find it in http://www.checksix-fr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCook Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Reactorone 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?

saskcan Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensamvarg Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 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. :) Reactorone I'd like to use try your files and create some panels with the laser cutter.

JCook Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks guys, but since I posted that I've learned how to open these properly in CorelDraw - got it all figured out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobrot Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 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!! Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver...

metalnwood Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
