Thanks, Michael!
BTW, some may wonder why I just don't edit the drill drawing on my gerber file and release that (which would be a good question). Unfortunately, a couple reasons prevent that.
The silkscreen side hangs under the top of the chassis, thus flipping or mirroring all the dimensions. My layout software won't let me flip the image, so I just wrote down all the dims and calculated the template dim (subtracted the X axis from 10.250"). This wouldn't have been a problem if the board layout was perfectly symmetrical, but that will wait for Rev C - if that ever happens! :)
The second holdup was no centered hole dimension for the sockets, and my footprint reference point was based on pin 1 instead of their center point. Doh!
So that's the story. I'm learning anyhow. There are those who have, and those who will.
