Most 3.125" instruments mount with # 6, and 2.25" mount with # 4. Have your machinist re-size the holes before cutting. The circuit-breaker holes in Panel Planner are too small for most popular circuit breakers - check the size of the ones you're using and have them re-sized. Most importantly - Panel Planner will let you space instruments, radios, circuit breakers. etc. so close together that they will not fit on the actual cut panel. Check your spacing before exporting to .DXF.
