ParallaxStuff_MeasuredDrawing and QuickProtoLite Layout?

Hi
I've edited the Discussion Title to better reflect the subject.
I will attempt to attach my zip file to the last post of this thread.
I've recently decided that I need to make Circuit Layout drawings using Sketchup-Pro 2015
I did this with my last actually completed project that is controlling pumps in my Hydroponic garden.
It worked good.
I did a layout drawing of a Propeller Quickstart 40000 revA board and
used that information to start a drawing of the QuickProtoLite board using Sketchup
QuickProtoLite board came to me through the PropellerPowered website.
What I'm wondering about is if there is a reason that the terminal strip on the QuickProtoLite board is slightly skewed from
the Parallax Quickstart 40000 revA board.
I may have made some mistakes in laying out the Quickstart board.
I will attempt to attach my Sketchup drawing to possibly find out why this anomaly exists.
I realize this is quite trivial, but maybe someone will be interested in this.
It's pretty much a test of doing a post and seeing how things work out.
Any comments, suggestions etc. are as usual, greatly appreciated.
It appears that uploading .SKP files is not allowed.
I think I need to wait for things to calm down on the new forum and possibly try again, or not.
I am a patient person, so I'll see how things work out of the next several weeks or months.
Thanks

(Attached is a zipped Sketchup file)
I decided to further develop the QuickProtoLite drawing at bit.
I shifted some of the holes and patterns. My light box says that I'm pretty close
to being correct.
When I'm somewhat satisfied that it will be useful, I'll Zip it and try again.

I finished developing my Sketchup pro 2015 measured drawings of several
Parallax items and a QuickProtoLite board from PropellerPowered.
I attempted to get hole sizes and locations correct.
The QuickStart and QuickProtoLite drawings are new.
I decided to also include some other items I've used in doing physical layout type stuff
in the actual build of my last projects.
My hope is that this file might be of some use for others besides me.
I'm rather new at 3d drawing, so some things may be peculiar to a seasoned Sketchup artist.
