Default RV-7 Panel in Autocad

Anyone have a drawing for the panel outer dimensions for the 7 in Autocad format. I would like to start messing around with my panel design. If not I will measure it up soon and have it if anyone wants it.

If you want Solidworks models you're welcome to use my 9a slider models.

Why don't you just download the .dxf from Van's and extrude it into a 3-d solid model in SolidWorks? You know you can open a dxf in SW...

If you use the vans Dxf, beware, the drawing is of the panel metal and does not show the bottom bend. In other words, it looks like the panel is higher than in reality.
