CAD Help needed

Tried my hand at CAD as my chassis is from hifi 2000 and they require CAD files for the drilling out of the chassis.

I think its beyond my ability and time constraints!

Would any CAD wizards be able to help provide me with a CAD file with simple XLR, IEC socket and speaker binding cut outs?

I could help you with that since I have over 30 years experience with CADCAM software. But I'm really busy preparing for an upcoming exhibition of the CNC machines my company builds and sells. If you can hold off for a few weeks I could get to it after that.

There are public domain parts available from Autocad users here: Home - Autodesk Community

Free 2D CAD software that is very easy to use:
CadStd - Cad Standard Lite freeware and inexpensive Pro software.

Export to DXF file for submission to CNC shop.

If you're stuck, PM me and I'll draw it up for you. Just need to know the dimensions of you chassis, and what you need done to it.

Likely every brand of the above requires slightly different cutouts...

Yes, there are many different styles of IEC connectors.

Amazing Jeff, much appreciated, I'm just finalising exact parts and then I will pm you.

I'm building this in the hifi 2000 Galaxy chassis 330mm wide, but I downloaded the cad file on their site, managed to open it but then I couldn't make sense of it....

Will pm exact cutout sizes to you and you can either download the hifi2000 Galaxy cad file or I can attach this for you too,

I'll PM you my regular email. That way you can just send me all the relevant files directly.
