  1. Pulling hair out - Probably easy but I can't get it

    OK so here's the deal. Cutting a large number of reverse cut signs. Have everything setup but am worried about the extremely pointed edge of some of the letters. (See attachment) Any ideas how to achieve my goal in Flexi? It is a long, boring story but I have to use the Arial Narrow...
  2. Text "end stretch" in Flexi?

    What I mean is where the end letters are taller than the middle ones. The tops of the text remains flat while the bottom curves, longer at the end. You see this a lot of time with additional smaller text tucked up in the curve. Below is crude example.
  3. "Nudging" in Flexi

    So you know how you can select and move objects around in Flexi with the cursor keys? Is there a way to control the step size of the move? I'd swear I've adjusted it before, but maybe it was another program.
  4. How to adjust length in Flexi or Corel without changing end radius

    I have a very simple graphic I need to adjust the various lengths of from about 12-48" My issue is when I stretch it in Corel or Flexi the end radius changes. I know this has to be ignorantly simple, but I'm still learning both programs. I think I can hack it, but would rather know how to...
  5. Backing up - Let me ask you this

    OK, what would happen if I came in, took out the hard drive(s) from you main design and/or production computers and beat them flat with a hammer? The reason I ask is this evening when I plugged in my main design/production machine it flashed like a camera and made some “Pzzzzzt - poof...

  7. SignTorch graphics really vinyl ready?

    So I already have one of the Vector Graphics packages. Some of the files are killer. I need a bunch of hunting related stuff and have been having a very hard time finding it. I just purchased this package from a place called Sign Torch. http://www.signtorch.com/showbundle.htm?s=signtorch...

  9. Weeding tips anyone?

    How do you get just the right "angle" of light for your weeding? Do you have a special setup or just use ambient light?
  10. Vector Art Mega Collection #1 - Am I doing something wrong?

    Finally bit the bullet and bought VAMC#1. I know Fred is the man with these images, but I wanted to pass along some feedback and perhaps gain some perspective on how to use the package more effectively. Am having extreme difficulty with the end results trying to produce 6 - 8" RTA's which is...

  13. Just a small vent

    I sure am glad I paid a butt-load for this new design software.

  15. How to "fill" outline of text

    I created some text and use the outline tool to surround it. What I want is to be able to have the back (black) piece of vinyl solid with no cutouts for the text or the space within the letters. I've spent 2 hours and I'm about to give up. See below for a visual description of what I get and...
  16. Any input? Graphtec CE5000 questions

    - Is there a way to move the carriage all the way to the left quickly? The reason I ask is after I cut a graphic I cut it off the roll by running the little knife they gave me down the channel in from of the cutting strip. It would a lot easier if I could get the the head out of the way all...

    Who-hoo, new cutter is here. Got the stand assembled and the cutter installed on top of it. Having a bit of an issue getting the blade set correctly however. I may ask for your expert help. Would a nice scan of the test cut results give you fellas any hints to what I am doing incorrectly?
  18. This may be one of the "Noobiest" questions ever asked ;-)

    OK, so here's the question, although I am a bit embarrassed to ask. So now that I actually pay attention to signage I see a *lot* of vinyl lettering that has an outline. For example the word "sale" in 4" high letters in red with 3/8" black outline around each letter. I'm sure when my...

  20. Vendor for sign frame. Any ideas?

    I wish I would have had my camera today because I saw exactly the sign frame I am looking for. My feeble attempt at a description follows: Posts were approximately 3 - 4" square (Closer to 3" I think, maybe even a touch smaller). They appeared to be made out of painted aluminum and were...
