Yes, setting up your first few contour cuts with them can prove to be a little tedious. There are how to videos on their website that will walk you through it.
I have a contracted installer who is retiring, and I am now trying to find a new person to sub some work out to. Most orders are South DFW Metroplex with some up North around Denton.
Would yall be able to send me any sub-contractors, and/or would you be open to outsourcing some of the jobs...
We typically do next day rush charges additional $50 +30% of the whole entire order excluding rush fee!

Damn, Gino, I always see you flaming people's asses on here. Lol, now I am on the other end of the flame.
Yeah, you bring up a good point on the reputation plus code and I might need to reconsider the job when you say it like that.
Just in the past I have not had problems with the ACM on sheet...
In my opinion, it is better to get a job than not to get a job if disclaimers are made and signed. Plus this company rebrands like every 3 years at this rate lol.
Yeah, I think I will try to sell them the 6mm at least since it is not too much more, and the letters would be as sturdy as possible...
Ahh, so those pads on the combo studs act at the spacer and tensioner when glued to the outside of the building to avoid going in the backside to nut it up?!
Tell me about it lol. everyone wants the cheap option and do screwed ACM instead of stud AL.
I am
I have a lot of my ACM letters and cut out logos still going strong 4-5 years later like this one.
Most customers do not want to pay the price point for the stud-mounted letters and would instead opt for paint-matched self-tappers on the raised ribs. I am curious, though, how I would secure stud-mounted letters on corrugated metal if I do not have access to the back side of the wall to attach...
What are your thoughts on my job setup? We have done these in the past but for smaller letters and wanted some opinions or options of what yall have done.

I have tried that with Corel. Instead of importing files with text, I select convert to curves, and it still gives me a corrupt dialog box(only with Canva), so only the option I posted above works for me. Maybe I need to update my Corel version?
So I figured it out from a support agent.... I guess it is Canva exporting the text fonts intact that is messing it up. Solution below.
"Open the concerned PDF file on a PDF viewer or open it to your internet browser.
Go to File > Print and use the Microsoft Print to PDF.
This will re-save...
Yeah, when I hear I have a print-ready file..... sends canva link..... I am like, actually let me re-work the estimate lol
I will have to look into it for sure! I am just more well versed on Canva, while I only know the bare minimum actions in other platforms.... I need to get on some YouTube...
Has anyone had problems with Canava Files not opening in Corel? I imported the vector PDF file, and it says the file is Corrupted. Did both standard and print exports from Canva.
File works in photoshop and Adobe but I like using Corel more. I have Corel 2021 64bits.
I assume it might be Canva...
