A couple of things to check before machining from Panel Planner files - The
mounting screw hole diameters in Panel Planner for the 3.125" and 2.25"
round cutouts is sized for # 8 hardware (.177").  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.
