This may seem like an odd question but here it goes...

I've built an 'arcade machine' and would like to design and print a photo-quality sheet to go on the control panel. The control panel has lots of buttons (and 2 joysticks) and is 700mm wide by 280mm high (i.e. much bigger than A4 - in fact it will be three and a bit A4 sheets).

I would like to know what program I could use (if there is one?!?!) that would allow me to create a design that was 700mm x 280mm and also position circles on the design that would correspond to the button holes on the control panel (i.e. put circles to specific locations on the drawing that would correspond to a specific ?mm x ?mm position on the final drawing). This way I can incorporate writing to my drawing such as "Fire", "Pause", "Credit" etc and they will appear above the correct buttons on the final printed image.

And also then print this image out across multiple A4 sheets in order to tape them together, cut out the 'holes' needed for the buttons etc and then use it behind the Perspex on my control panel.

Does anyone have any ideas how I would achieve this?

Thanks
