  1. Considering Margins

    Back in the early 70's I worked in a shop doing the general sign work mostly. Novembers the boss left for a month and we needed to fill in. I needed to do the sho cards, and Gary, who did the billboards did the shop signs because it was rainy. At the end of the day we were observing and chatting...

  5. the Size Changes???

    If I make a box in Flexi and export it to 365 as a PDF, what they get is a fraction larger than what I generated. If I send them a 36"x24" PDF, when I upload it to their site it measures 36.003" x 24.003". Anyone know how to correct this?
  6. Need Help Returning to origin

    On my old FC7000, I could set a point of origin and scroll out the amount I wanted, seeing if it was still properly aligned, and then hit some other button and it would zip back to the point of origin. I have not figured out how to do this on my FC 9000, and any instruction would be welcomed.

  8. Self Healing Table Top

    Years back when looking for these to cover a 4x8 table top I ran into a company that bought these mats after they were poured and they cut them to shape and printed the lines. They sold me a few of the rough shapes and I could glue them on the table top and go around the edges with a laminate...
  9. Need Help Getting Stickers to Stick

    I have a customer having trouble getting stickers to stick to these new fiberglass/plastic portable toilet doors. I told him "Sure, I'll show you how." I washed one with Dawn and water, rinsed it and dried it. Wiped it with alcohol. Pulled out a torch and flamed it. Put a sticker on and it felt...
  10. Sandblast Rubber

    For many years my choice of rubber has been the Anchor 116. We go through about a roll a month. The powder they put on the surface needs to be washed off before applying app tape. We've been triple washing and still not getting app tape to stick well enough to generate the transfer. Yesterday I...

  12. Old CAS fonts not showing

    When I try to open some of my older files that came from early versions, they're not all showing up. I look in my windows program files, SAi, production suite, I see the CAS fonts there.

  14. Flexi Icon Size

    Is there a way to make the tool bar icons smaller so that I can have a few more tools onboard? Something happened to my flexi making it difficult to dock tools on toolbar like it always did, and when I click on the font pull down it retracts as soon as I move the mouse away. I tried re loading...
  15. remembering choices

    I once knew how to do this, but am apparently getting old enough to forget. WHen I draw a shape it has a line around it. I can go to FIll/Stroke editor and click on clear and it goes away. How do I get it to stay gone away? If I start a new file it remembers a font and a color from a previous...
  16. the mysterious black box

    If I have an image on my flexi screen and do a copy/paste into an email, this balck rectangle is appearing across the very botton of the image. It didn't used to be that way, but now I can't figure out how to make it go away?

  18. Billboard Cover

    I've painted boards for many years and now need to do one of those digital printed covers. I don't know where to order, how long they last, or how to install one over a plywood sign with framework on the back side? Would I be better printing vinyl in 4x8 sections to apply on aluminum and install...
