Is this what you mean? I put the grid marks on my camera and lined them up to the straight edge of the laptop. Did I get it correct? My apologies, I left out the key information! I use VinylMaster XPT (expert edition). My MacBook Pro is a 2017 non-touch bar. After looking at my laptop, I want to make a template for the mouse pad, left and right of keyboard, top piece of the keyboard, and the top of the laptop (opposite side of screen ). I cannot do the left and right of the keyboard because the speakers are there. Yes, allot of these are $25-$30 on Etsy! Yes but if you look at the shot. The computer is not "Square" due to the angle of the shot. If you trace than it will not be accurate. You can also attempt to scan the thing if you have a large enough scanner. That will be more accurate in my experience but may not fit your MacBook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
