Brilliant. I've used some of these techniques before (templates for holes) and have thought about soldering jigs, though that's as far as that's gone! 
This helps.
Incidentally, the advice to get a set of calipers is good. I have a set of calipers that I bought for reloading probably 30 years ago - a Swiss made plastic set marketed by General Tool. I've found them indispensable. I have a metal set as well, but find I like my originals better for two reasons: they are just as accurate and much lighter / easier to handle.
I don't have dividers. Thanks, Wayne for that pointer - that's certainly more accurate than the way I do similar tasks (using the open mouth of a caliper to eyeball locations for driling, etc.)
Wayne, your 4th and 5th pictures aren't depicting what your text is describing (displayed ladders and an RPO jig)
