FAQ
FPL to HPG Conversion
What are FPL files?
FPL is a front panel layout file created by front panel design software, used to draw the faceplates of electronic devices, instruments, amplifiers, and enclosures. A file of this type describes a flat panel with its outline, drilled holes, cut-outs for displays, switches, and connectors, and printed labels or scales around controls. The design is a technical drawing with exact dimensions, meant to be printed as a template, sent to a CNC milling or engraving machine, or ordered from a panel manufacturing service. Files with the FPL extension are used by hobbyists, laboratories, and small manufacturers who build their own equipment. The extension is shared with other, unrelated formats, such as playlists and flight plans.
What are HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
