Modular Synth Panels

Hi Stuadh,

while PDF (Portable Document Format) is a proprietary but nevertheless
generic file format FPD files are used to control the CNC machines of
Schaeffer Apparatebau.
Frontpanel Designer is a dedicated CAD software to design frontpanels
and generate this files.

I'm running a Mac too. 
Since I'm refusing to use Virtual PC and Windoze I was using
Frontpanel Designer for a short while on an old PC in the office.
But I'm about to switch to Photoshop since I got a license on the
Apple and I don't need to get panels machined.

I've heard from several people that Frontpanel Designer is doing ok
under VPC. I myself got it running under Linux/wine.

I'd have loved it if there was a native Mac version but then ...

HTH, :-) Michael.
