Been playing around some with the aps3000 software, and was curious after looking at greenlights .pdf templates that are printable… did they use the aps3000 software? If so, how? What’s the process? And I guess, if they didn’t, then how did they lay it all out so nice?
I think it’d be really nice to have digital back ups of templates!
Shoots,
These threads should have what you’re looking for:

Also, swaylocks member ras_jahn can print them out for you if you send him an aps file; he’s got the equipment and will do it for a fee.
Peace.

Couldn’t agree more - the best way to make a template!
Actually, the best boards I’ve shaped don’t have a template… they were cut from a template but then shaped to what looked and felt right.

nay sarcasm. I’ll go ahead and point out that my goal was to make printable digital templates for backup. I have a very limited workspace as it is, even if I made spin templates, It’d ball me up.
