file set up

setting up a sketch 

    • You can send us your idea via a scanned hand drawing or you can

draw up a rough sketch on a computer in any file type that we can read.


    • The file could be a text file with a written description, or you can create

 it using Word, Paint, or Excel, etc. and save as (JPG, GIF, BMP, PDF).


    • If you would like us to draw or set up your file on the computer for you,

 you will need to prepare a mock-up of your design or a send us a written

description of the design that you need.


Please follow these guidelines when preparing your mock-up file:


    • Written descriptions should include all sizes of parts, quantities

required, and material types and colors for each.


    • Mock-ups and scans should include all relevant dimensions (be sure

indicate the units of measure you are using).

 
    • Please try as much as possible to make your drawings to scale (please include a 1" x 1" square for reference).


    • When showing the location of a hole, please specify the distances

from the hole's center to the nearby shapes or edges of the part.


    • Include the quantity required for each part needed.


    • If you need to send more than one file, please zip the files or ask for our FTP site info.
