Richard - I=99m attaching a some DXF & PDF files to this message.
Not sure how Matronics will treat them, but if they don=99t get
through or you have any problems opening/reading them please get back to
me & I=99ll send them direct to you. I use CADintosh (and
occasionally TurboCAD Mac) but both seem to play nicely with .DXF files.
One set is of the main panel and one is of the radio panel. I used the
DXF file of the radio panel to have the factory-supplied blank water-jet
cut by a local firm, and the PDFs of both panels to have the legends
laser-etched by another outfit (after black-anodising by a 3rd company).
I believe in USA one can find one-stop shops for all that.
The radio panel .DXF export is only the basic layer - if you want the
full layout with instrument holes etc please ask.
You can see some of the results at:

Hope this is of some use.
