Drilling holes for tuners

Hi.
Is it important to drill the holes for the tuners accurate? On my drawing, the total lenght of the head is supposed to be 165.1mm, but it´s acctually 168mm. The drilling pattern shows the measurments from the top end of the head. So I don´t know if I can go ahead and drill using this.

I would layout the holes on the headstock based off the dimensions shown on the drawing. It's possible that the printout is not to scale.....even likely.....so you might be a little off if you use it as a template. You don't want the strings rubbing against another string's tuner shaft so the layout is important.......but I don't know how much you can be off and have no issues.
