No harm done
The two files
Neve : Marconi Style Knob Mock-ups - Coppolo Electronics.afdesign
Neve : Marconi Style Knob Mock-ups - Coppolo Electronics.pdf
need the : removed then it's all fine.
Thanks again for the graphics. Much appreciated.

That should be fixed now as well.

This thread reminded me I actually bought affinity in 2021 but forgot about it completely

Am I missing anything (that's used in pedal building) here?

I guess I could draw up the old Panasonic ECQ-B style if you guys really needed them. I feel like the Wima MKS2 pretty much covers it though.

Holy cow! Even the caps. Maybe ICs?

ICs will be their own thing. When asking if I’m missing anything, I should have clarified. Am I missing any capacitors that will be useful for doing mock-ups?

Maybe the larger axial caps for amps.
You opened the can of worms!

Perhaps I’ll consider amp-building components later on, but for now, I’m trying to focus on pedal related components.

Thank you for this amazing resource, I've really been enjoying these tools! I use Inkscape to do the Layout (I find it much more intuitive for the creative part) and Affinity Designer for the final formatting and file export and I have a pretty good workflow going. I've been using the PDFs to import into Inkscape without any issues except for the chickenhead knobs:

Graphic-Design/Illustrations/Knobs/Chicken-Head-Knobs at main · CoppoloElectronics/Graphic-Design

A collection of illustrations and graphic design templates for designing guitar pedals. - CoppoloElectronics/Graphic-Design

Opening this file crashes inkscape instantly, every single time. It opens fine in Affinity Designer and I've tried using the AD file format and exporting that as an SVG as well as PDF to be opened in Inkscape but it makes no difference. I even removed all of the text and left only the knob illustrations themselves, but no matter what, these images will crash inkscape. It's only the chickenhead file!

I'm kind of baffled by this...any ideas?

Glad you're finding the illustrations useful. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what could be causing the issue in Inkscape. You might try isolating the knob illustration that you need to use in a new file using Affinity, then export that as a vector SVG or PDF and try to import it into Inkscape that way. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply!
I figured it out! After much fiddling about with various formats, I tried deleting the one "Wood Grain" knob in Affinity Designer and left all of the flat colors, then exported as PDF. Worked instantly. There was something about that textured fill that was tripping Inkscape. Weird!
