D1 dimensions compared to Martin?

Are there any dimensions that differ from a typical Martin D18?
I'm wondering if I can buy a case designed for a "Martin Dreadnaught", and get the same good fit?

I kept my Martin D Mahogany 09 in a Collings TKL for years. My D1T has traveled in a Hiscox case, and I know a Martin D18 fits in my Collings Vintage case. A Martin case should be a proper fit with with no issues. You probably saw the Collings TKL case for sale in the classifieds.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I was was wondering if I should send the tracing to Calton, or if I could just buy one off the rack.

I have two friends with Martins and Collings who carry both in Calton cases, with no fit issues.

Calton is in Austin & they were friends w Bill and have the specs. No problem with a Calton generic dreadnaught case. I have my old D18 in a Bill Collings case
