No. It's other the way around: an export filter to make DXF from FPD
(most likely Windows only and it's quite cheap).
I would not hesitate to ask for a quote for a panel made as DXF, most
likely they can convert it and do an competitive offer. The power of
Frontpanel Designer lies in the simplicity of the use (once You have
Your repeating elements like dials ect. made) and WYSIWYG from the
tools setup from the machinery.
