Printing for panel fit check
Prior to upgrading to 6.1.2 I was able to print a copy of the panel I was designing.
I'm on 6.1.2 and using a project from an older version and now when I try to print the panel I'll get only a blank sheet of paper. I looked around at the settings and it appears that the panel preview is present but it appears as one tile of many that need to be printed.
Can you help figure this out?Posted By: Chris Spacone on Jan 04, 2019 11:38PM Category: Front Panel Designer
Hi Chris,

6.1.1 on Mac Mojave
I've updated to the latest version (6.1.1) of FPD and while I can design a panel with no issues, I continue to get this error message:
"ALERT: this price calculation is no longer valid. Please download the current version of Front Panel Designer".
I've reinstalled version 6.1.1 three times now with the same results. When I click on the "About" menu, it tells me I'm running version 6.11.
What's up here?Posted By: Marc J Zeitlin on Dec 08, 2018 06:48PM Category: Front Panel Designer
Hey Mac,
Just a quick clarification: This is a messaging bug and does not affect the price calculation at all. The price listed is the price you will get. This notification is being shown in error. We are working on a solution now and will get back to you as soon as it is ready. Thanks again, and if you have any questions please let us know.Posted By: Dean on Dec 11, 2018 02:30AM

Anodized Aluminum Panel w/ White Background
Hello! Is there any way to have full-color imagery with a white background printed on anodized aluminum (rather than choosing powder-coated aluminum, which cannot have graphics printed on)?

Hi Glen,
Import your graphic and make sure 'underprint white ink on the front panel surface' is checked. If you have any further issues or questions email us at info@frontpanelexpress.comPosted By: Adrian on Dec 03, 2018 08:18PM

HPGL
I have a simple line drawing that I might want to include as an engraving on a front panel I'm working on. I have jpg and pdf files, but can't seem to find a free program to convert either of the files to HPGL. If anybody knows of one, I'd be grateful.
Another idea: I read a post here that leads me to believer FP Express will do the conversion and include it in the design, but I'd like to be able to see it on the cad program so I could mess around with it before deciding if, and how, to include it in the design.Posted By: Warren Anderrson on Nov 30, 2018 06:16PM Category: Front Panel Designer
