Hello Bob,

Can you please send us a little more information:
1) Is this your first time downloading the software or are you updating?
2) What operating system are you downloading for?

Thank you,
FPE

Update to this:
The dynapdf.dll has to be in the in the same folder as the frontdesign.exe file. If installed it properly this happens automatically. There could have been a mistake/issue though. It will most likely solve the issue if you uninstall and then reinstalls the Front Panel Designer.

Best,
FPE

Hi Scott,

Click on set origin in toolbar, then click on enter coordinates based on snap point and hoover over the hole you want to use as the reference and click the center. A blue circle with cross hair will be in the center of that circle. Now, right click the hole you want to be spaced apart and select move. Enter in your absolute X,Y and the hole will move to the location you specify. Repeat process until you have your alignments where you need them.

Hi Elmer,

You order from the actual design files you are ready have. Open one of the files and click on ORDER in the menu bar. Add the files to your shopping cart and you enter in all the information asked for in the ordering tabs.

Hi,

when adding a macro file to the loaded macro files in FPD, you are asked whether to open it in read-only mode. If you do so, you're not able to create macros in the custom library (see attached screenshot)

In order to change this, you have to remove the custom library from the list, and re-add the file without read-only. (Edit -> Settings -> Interface Tab -> Macro Files ...)

But note: We haven't tested what happens if 2 or more uses access the same custom library at the same time and create new macros in it. I'd suggest that you test this before you take full advantage of it.

Regarding your windows permissions, you have to make sure that you have write access to the macro file itself of course.

Best Regards,
Sven

Thank you, That fixed our problem. I posted instructions for people to add the library but did not have instructions for the read only mode window that opens.
Following your cautionary note I have backed up the file and will continue on a regular basis in case we break the file. We will also test next week to see if any issue arises.
