You could use these coordinates but change the hole sizes, it looks right to me but not 100% sure.

No, unfortunately, they're different design. The pots are a bit more inwards on the Hyped Fuzz (In red here).

Ah, sorry my bad. Though I guess you just have to measure the differences between A1 and you can figure out everything else.

If you could share this that would rule. I want to get some drilled for the Ionizer which would I think be the top left, top right, and bottom middle of your template there. Just a two knob w an LED.

I think I've figured out what the issue is when exporting layers....
I found I slightly had some shapes going outside of the canvas area. When exporting it was causing 2 of the layers to move into the 3rd layer.
Once I tidied up to ensure nothing was going outside the frame, it exported correctly! Been bugging me all day. I can sleep now.
Hope this helps anyone else having issues with exporting layers in Affinity Design.

You'll want to adjust the LED hole, and the DC jack (B - 8.1mm) depending on what you're using, 8,1 are for the slim/thinline DC jack

The issue is when that file is imported into Adobe Illustrator, it collapses all the layers to a single layer. Exporting and importing back into Affinity seemingly works fine. It’s just when it’s exported from Affinity and opened in Illustrator that it has that layer issue. And by all accounts, Illustrator is what Tayda is using to open and interpret the file for printing.

Hhmmm . . . . so does Tayda want to see an AI file or a PDF?
Has anyone tried bouble passes for color or white? I'd love to see a comparison before comitting.

PDF is fine, but how Affinity encodes a PDF and how Illustrator encodes a PDF ends up with different results. Illustrator encodes the PDF with layers that can be recognized and opened in both Illustrator and Affinity. Affinity encodes a PDF with layers that are only recognized in Affinity. If you open it in Illustrator all of the layers are combined into a single layer.

VERY interesting.
I live in Illustrator - new tools are cool, but I think I'll stick to what I know.
Thx!

Yeah you're better off for sure! Maybe this is something Affinity will address with an update at some point.

I could be wrong, but I believe they're opening the file with Roland VersaWorks.
Unfortunately without a hardware dongle (which is a $30000 UV printer) we can't run the software to see how it behaves.

I also live in illustrator, but I did pick up Affinity with plans to eventually transistion to it, I love illustrator, but headed towards retirement their subscription model isn't going to work for me

Yeah that’s the worst part (not knowing how it behaves). But Hugo did tell me that if they see an issue with a file they open it in Illustrator to check it out. Looks like if we create the layers in Affinity we are hosed on both fronts.I could be wrong, but I believe they're opening the file with Roland VersaWorks.

You could either open the drill guide in Illustrator and the like, and measure from there, or print it out and measure on the sheet.

Or you could just line the ruler to zero out at the center instead of the default upper left corner. This can be done in Illustrator and Affinity designer by clicking and dragging from the ruler's intersection onto the center.
