For my panels, I used Front Panel Express. They provide a CAD program that
can be used with the DXF file to place any holes, openings, and text on
different types of materials, thickness and colors for panels. Its really
easy to use and will price out the panel right in the software. My main
panel cost $150USD and arrived in about a week. Not sure how they ship to
locations outside of the US.
I attached 2 JPEGs with pics of my panels in their software, really pics of
the panels, and the dxf files for those same panels. Mine is a trigear so
the panel isn't going to work for a Mono but it shows some other options.
Hope this helps.
Brad

Thank you Jim, Chris and Rowland. I am quite amazed the responses I have
received from you all of you!
As you mentioned in your reply Rowland, in the US I expect there may be
one stop services for panel cutting, painting and etching services.
Fortunately I don't live in the US, but rather in British Columbia,
Canada... where things are not always so convenient.
I've downloaded your .dxf files and look very good Rowland. No segmented
curves! Though we in Canada are supposed to be using the metric system of
measure, many are not...
When downloading to Rhinocad, I converted your drawings to imperial
measure, I ended up with a rather microscopic scaled version of your perfect
drawing.
It appears it is time for me to become multi-lingual, so to speak and
start drawing using the metric system of measure in earnest.
I've been told by European engineering types that the metric system is
far superior to imperial and easier to use?
In any case, thank you so much for taking the time to reply and forward
drawings that I am hoping will be of great use to me.
Kind
regards, Richard
