You can get a very high quality PDF drawing from the AS website.
Should then be possible to bring that into a CAD program and convert
it into a CAD dataset.

can't a PDF file be opened in a vector/spline based application like
Adobe Illustrator? if so, it should be relatively easy to get what you
need, sizing the view space and the printing window would take some
tiling tho.

Here's a DWG version of that panel. Double check it before you put much faith in it:

That works too. You can laser cut a template with the screw holes and center holes only and go the hole saw route. Only works for the round instruments. :-)

I tried it both ways and even with a drill press to hold the hole saw it wandered off center on me by about 0.05". I'm sure with practice I could get better but the hole saw was also slightly over size to the instruments and I literally needed to be on target to 0.002" because I had several instruments separated by the thickness of a sheet of paper or two.

CNC also works but takes more effort to get the tool offsets and cutter path programmed.

The last time I did a project like this I sent the CAD file to a plastic shop who used it to laser cut a 1/8" plexiglass panel complete with mounting holes and instrument holes. IIRC the bill was $35. That let me test all the instrument installations and fittings with a panel I could see through which made detecting interference easy. Then I sent the file to a metal shop who laser cut the panel itself. That part cost $70. Everything fit perfectly.
