Schaeffer rocks!

this µ is not related to the compressor topology. it´s more kind of my logo (brand? )

I see, all understood :thumb: . Nice. Really nice collection you have there. I especially like the EQP-unit.

ps yepp the µ on the comic pic looks funky :-D

You happen to know Blake & Mortimer ? Kind of sci-fi w.r.t. the difficult installations & machines that usually appear. The bad guy in these comics is usually a dark genius and has a big lab with a lot of gear & installations.

Actually, that EQP wouldn't be out of place there...
So BTW, do you happen to be a bad & evil & dark genius ? :wink: :wink:

now there is a project built by a studio engineer and not a techy guy. YOu know this because it has a big VU perfect for reading a level when you havn't slept in 48 hours. looks good real good. I only wish mine could look as good.

Steffen,


How or Why is it cheaper to use an imported HPGL file instead of just designing the panel in FPD format??

Very import to me as I wish to cut down my panel costs!!!


Is it possible to export the FPD to corel, or something then bring it back in as a HPGL file??? Will this save me money?

I really dunno....I found it out by accident and was very surprised since Frank (NRGrecording) told me he´s paying much more for the engraving.

yepp that works. here´s what I do.

I do the complete design in Illustrator Mac (including line filling etc.). then export as DXF. then switch to coreldraw running on virtual PC, import DXF, export HPGL. then import to FPdesigner (also running on VPC :green: ) ...done

btw...I do the layout on illustrator because I work with the program for while now and know how to use it for the stuff I need. Im shure you can do all the drawing in corel too.

it´s car varnish (titanium metallic by volkswagen) and laserengraved

the panel are milled by schaeffer before varnishing, but the laserengraving was done by a different company.

and thanx for the nice words guys! the unit is gone ...but I have a funky 2RU version on the bench now...can post pix tomorrow (silverpanel, engraved by schaeffer) :green:

 

[daArry]

Thanks steff!! :thumb:

 

[ChuckD]

I already have the drawings done in FPD format but wish to save $$$
The export function of FPExpress cost $149

Can anyone suggest a way I can export from FPD format and convert to HGPL? then reimport the HPGL to see if it is cheaper?

[daArry]

chuck, mebbe u can print the panel to a PDF file, import in corel then export to HPGL...everything should be vector so u should be coo

Chit Steff.... another piece from the Master... :thumb:

 

[ChuckD]

Nope you can't print to a PDF file from the software there is some error message in German that prevents this.

I screen shot would work but the resolution is completely lost.

There has got to be somone who has done this?
