reference lines
Is it possible to enter some reference lines that will not be part of the finished product?

Hi Vic,
Yes. You can do this by adding your engraving lines and then going to the engravings object properties and checking the box that states 'Do not produce object'.

HPGL file
Can I edit an HPGL file? Because I exchanged the Height and Width of Right and Left sides and I'd like to change their projection on the Front and Back.

scale1.fpjs change color?
hello,
I am a newbie user of FrontPanel and I am learning the basics to make a panel.
I tested out the script "scale1.fpjs" and it makes nice scale/tick marks around holes.
The marks are black. is there a way to change the color?
I would like my panel to be black and infile engraved markings from scale with white color. I looked at the source of the javascript, but im not sure what API command to insert to make the results white and not black.Posted By: ken on Sep 27, 2019 12:46AM Category: Front Panel Designer
attaching a small screen shot of what I see. I made the panel grey.. but when it is black, I can not see the scale marks.

ReplyHi Ken,
Use the 'insert HPGL engraving' tool in the software to insert your script file. When you do the properties screen gives you the option to choose different colors by changing the 'Pen Assignments'

Fonts
Is there a font that would allow you to cut through rather than an engraving at a set depth? I'm thinking instead of a paint fill, I might like to try back-lighting if it's possible.

Hi Frank,
To machine thru the material you will have to convert the font into a .dxf file and import the font into the program using the 'insert free contour' tool. I attached a file so you can see what it will look like.
Obviously you would have to modify the P R A letters so they do not fall through when machined but you get the idea.

Side Profile 1 dimensions
I'm trying to design an enclosure using "Side Profile 1" but the drawing in the enclosure manual doesn't have enough dimensions to locate the y-axis location of each slot. Is there a more detailed drawing that includes all the dimensions?
At a minimum I think I need the two dimensions "C" and "D" indicated in red in the attached file.Attached File: SlotDimensions.png
