Front panel patterns
Hello All
I am building a LF/MW/HF Preselector and I would like to use my
computer to layout a pattern, 4 inches (101.6mm) by 10 inches (254mm)
using 2 variable capacitors, three rotary switches, two potentiometers
and some toggle switches. Toggle switches are no problem but the other
controls should be "calibrated" type of layouts. I have used MS Paint
with only letters and numbers, reversed and applied to a clear
transparency with a laser printer. This worked ok but to draw lines at
an angle do not work. If I have a layout I can copy or scan I believe
that would work ok. I have done ok with schematics.
I have some Dataq dry transfers but some are too small or too large. I
tried scanning and resizing but I cannot get rid of the "blue"
background.
I have some graphics programs but the learning curve is steep and I am
not an artist so I do not understand much of the terminology such as
"layers" etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. If you send a link, please make
sure it is "direct" and not to a site where I have to figure out what
you meant to tell me.
Thank you in advance.
