    Hello,

    I used your fpd file and exported it as a dxf. I opened it in a CAD software and separated the perimeter from the mounting holes to create two dxf files.

    Back into Front Panel Designer I imported the perimeter to get the front panel shape. After that I imported the mounting holes with the 'free contour' tool.

    Check out our YouTube channel. We have a couple of tutorials explaining this more in detail..

    Attached is your reversed design.

    Best regards,
    Diane

    Perfect! So simple!
    I might add for other people to get the perimeter to load. Start a 'File' 'New' Basic Shape: 'Free Shape From .DXF'
    Thank you!
