I get ocassional requests for MOTM format versions of the modules that
we offer,
so your custom panel service would be a godsend towards that goal.
I'm really hoping for a solution that will include us Macintosh users.
Front Panel Express/Schaffer are Macintosh hostile, so they do not get
any of my business.
I typically work in bitmaps and 300 DPI jpegs using Photoshop and have
somone else
vectorize it for me when necessary.
I recommend the most open ended file architecture possible so that we
all don't have
to learn Autocad or Illustrator (or buy a Windows machine) just to be
able to participate.
This may be a challenge, but I suggest that a huge numbert of Mac heads
would come
out of the woodwork ordering custom panels from you because the door has
been closed
to them for so long.
Either way, it's supergroovey that you're doing them at all!
Thanks and best wishes on your new panel venture, I hope to be a regular
cutomer!
