  2. Installing STK Font file from old Flexi

    Hey All, So we've updated to flexi 19 from 8.5 a few years ago, but when we switched I lost some of my fonts, specifically the monoline engraving fonts that I would make notes on my patterns with. The fonts from 8.5 that I want to install are STK files, and I can't seem to just install them...

  4. 2 layer acrylic letters?

    I don't know if this is the right section for this, please move if it isn't, but I can't find these anywhere. It looks to be 2 layers of acrylic bonded together, and I thought they might be from Gemini, but I can't find them in the book at all, and google was not helping. Any ideas?

Yesterday we did a 10' run and it stretched the pattern out an extra 2", We can't find the owners manual, and I can't find anything online about it, can...
  7. Backlit Acryllic panel sign, how?

    We have a customer that wants to get something like this, it looks like a piece of frosted acryllic with leds behind it, but looks could be deceiving. They want RGB leds with the controller to kind of fade colors like the rockola jukeboxes. We are thinking of all these different ways to do but...

    well, after what I assume is coming up on 9 years (date on sticker says 2006) it is time to say farewell to our 50" big squeegee. I just ordered a new 56" today. It probably should have been gone years ago, but I was never able to make that call until now.

    Our outside sales rep asked me if I could find these, Any ideas? I haven't seen what material or anything about them, just these pics.

  15. What are your tolerances?

    So I was just thinking the other day when I was putting some cut vinyl on a face, what are the general accepted "off" amounts. I try to get everything as dead on as possible, but it is a little difficult when your ruler has a slight bend to it, or the faces don't have a factory edge on them...

    Can someone please tell me what is causing this to happen. I need to create a wireframe so i can route it out, but when i export it from flexi, it creates these weird stripes that make it almost impossible to create a clean wireframe. I tried exporting it as both an eps and a dxf, my flexi...
