I don't have any dedicated CAD software. Why do CAD programs create curves as a series of short straight segments instead of genuine smooth curves? Is there a setting in the software?
If someone creates a CAD file and it has straight segments instead of smooth curves can they change a...
I cannot tell you how often this happens. Customer sends me artwork. I tell them that the file is too low of a resolution to recreate from. It was from a business card so I told them to scan at a higher resolution.
They sent it to me a 2nd time (sample 1 below) and insisted it was now 600...
I just uploaded another video. No sound or commentary. Nothing terribly difficult. Keeping nice smooth curves requires proper placement and control of nodes. Anyone can draw curves but keeping everything smooth can be tricky. I think Illustrator's node controls are quite good once you undertand...

Cool ipad app and great price for this reference book. The original printed book was so expensive
Had to laugh at the ratings. Someone thought they were getting all the fonts for $5.99 to use for graphic design...
Does anyone know if the most recent versions of MS Word can save/export pages as pdf?
I have an old version of MSWord that won't open docx files. So when I open newer docx files I use Open Office. OO has the capability of exporting the page to pdf but I need to know if MSWord also has this...
Part 3 of 3. My other 2 posts were for buyers remorse and best purchase in 2011.
So for 2012, is there any big ticket item you want to buy in 2012? List them here. Again business related purchases only,
My WANT list for 2012 is probably an ipad3. My WISH list is a Cintiq 24HD. But that is...
Again, similar to my buyer's remorse thread.... sign/graphics related items only
What was your best purchase in 2011?
For me it was upgrading to Adobe CS5.5. There have been enough changes from CS3 to make it worth the upgrade plus I am up to date for opening all incoming files
I did not make...
Just wondering if anyone bought anything in 2011 that they regretted after doing so? Software that did not live up to the hype? Hardware?
Let's limit this to business, not personal items:rolleyes:
My only regret was an Apple Airport Extreme base Station. I was hoping that I could use it to...
Just a reminder for those of you that use paypal. As of this year, there is no hiding behind this form of income
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/IRS6050W
If you have over 200 transactions and $20,000 in sales from paypal
This...
Quite possibly the #1 person for identifying obscure fonts. Not sure how he does it. I thought I was pretty good, but he is the best
And he hides behind those cool avatars. Tiki... who the heck are you? Some font god that cannot be stumped? A look back at his posts and that's pretty much all...
With the holiday falling on a Saturday/Sunday when is everyone closing up or leaving early?
I probably won't close any of those days, as I rarely get orders on weekends and when I do i usually have them done on Mondays
Just wanted to pass on this sad news.
Our dog Jake, a 9lb maltese was put to sleep today. He was only 4 years old. He put up a good fight for about a week but never fully recovered. Due to some form of liver disease and failure, there was too much build up of fluids in his body and slowly...
FYI, I have had a frequent autoreply in my email due to several absences. My dog Jake, only 4 years old is in critical condition with possible liver failure. He has gone down hill pretty quick in the past 2 days
I am hoping that he pulls through so we don't have to make a difficult decision...
That is what I just said. Been working for about 40 minutes on a job and forgot to hit save. Illustrator crash, lost everything
2011 and Illustrator STILL does not autosave

From what i am can tell, Adobe wants you to either pay for a subscription plan or upgrade every time a new version comes out. You are penalized for waiting too long between updates. They are...
