I want to edit footprint for DPAK in FP Designer, but I cannot move it to FP Designer. 

Option is disabled. For all other footprints this option works fine.

There are 4 Calculator Component Families that you cannot move to FP Designer.
  1. DPAK
  2. TO-220
  3. TO-92
  4. Capacitor, Aluminum Electrolytic 
If you want any special features in these footprints, you must build them from scratch in FP Designer. 

You might want to create both the Calculator part for 3D STEP and the FP Designer part for the footprint.
