The FPD files are in a proprietary format and don't export. Makes sense
because the free CAD program Front Panel Designer is meant to create
panel orders for its vendor. I find the FPD program very easy to use.
There is a low-resoloution way to export FPD files. Print in outline
mode, then scan the print. Then you have a graphic file others can view.
I'm not currently a Mac user, but what's the problem with using a PC
emulator? I've heard that people run the FPD program in it.
