Tip: Marking template
Here is a simple tool that I made to do some repetitive marking on the RV10 door window cutouts. This simple template takes minutes to make but can save a lot of measurements. It also removes measurement errors, which often happen when making repetitive marks using a ruler.
The small hole is where you place the pen, the large hole is so that you can see if you are actually making a mark. The large hole also helps to reduce the smudging that often occurs when dragging a pen in this kind of situation. The line helps you to visually keep the template 90 degrees to the surface. On this particular template I rounded the face so that it would go nicely around the smallest window radius.
Enjoy
