Just got email from Schaeffer- AG that there is a new version of Front Panel Designer out. Unfortunately there seem to be some problem with the website at the moment, but here is the email I got:
The built-in DXF import and export is a welcome addition as it will allow you to freehand shapes.

| Dear customers, Version 4.0 of the Front Panel Designer is now available. Please order your front panels from now on using the new version of the Front Panel Designer. The prices calculated by the Front Panel Designer Version 4.0 are valid from the 1st of April 2010. These replace the calculations made by earlier versions. You can download this version from our website or with the following link: Error!. The new Version 4.0 runs under Linux, Windows and MacOS X and offers an integrated import filter and export filter for DXF files as standard. The import of DXF files makes the design of exterior and interior contours possible without restrictions, which means that the design of front panels is not limited to simple geometric shapes. Consequently the design of components of any shape is possible, which may be of interest in the fields of model making, mechanical engineering (prototype construction) and design. An additional feature in Version 4.0 is the capture function at the reference point for example, which allows elements to be positioned even more comfortably and quickly on the front panel. The Front Panel Designer user interface has also been revised in Version 4.0. We would very much appreciate your feedback on version 4.0, also in our forum at: <http://www.schaeffer-ag.de/en/support/forum.html?view=single_thread&cat_uid=3&conf_uid=1 0&thread_uid=1941> We look forward to continuing our co-operation. Best regards Schaeffer AG |
