That is a really cool link, I went there and printed out a few panels, but they seem to be undersized when printed, I am experiementing now with "print to x% of original size" to find the ratio.

It appears to need to be increased to at least 128%. If someone could provide the actual dimensions for a panel or two from the overhead panel, preferably one of the larger panels, I can do the math and get the exact ratio.

I dont have anything on the 737 overhead but they should all be done to the same scale, the XPNDR panel in that drawing is the same as the real one i have here and that measures (backplate) 145.8mm by 56.73mm, if you can get the XPNDR to work then so long as you use the same scale value for all the other panels you should be ok

Thank you Phil, that is the "Rosetta Stone" for this endevour. This thread is timely too, as I am working on my Overhead now, and this will definitely help.

Between 129-130%, but my printer properties only allow changes in 1% increments. So I will use 130%, it's within 3/10mm.

I made a pdf awhile ago http://www.mycockpit.org/fileshare/showentry.php?e=188&catid=member&entryuserid=2999 so people could print anything they wanted a 1:1. Just print any area at 100%.
