  7. Well..... you don't want to starve for sure,but I have my own business construction in Vancouver B.C. thing are a bit different up here we are not feeling the times as much as you guys. We are still getting charged too much tax and most everything is over priced even compared to the other provinces. So like I said I have my own business some times you turn thing in to gold others you scratch you head and say what the hell did I do that for. I made a dissition in September to start another business with my brother in-law. Now he is a good solid guy hardworking and honest. Sounds great eh? We opened a inspection business for housing it was booming in September so I bought a course for him $6000.00 to get him trained and I put him on my crew and paid him $5.00 and hour more than my highest paid guy. So here is the jig he has not started the course the books are just sitting there I have found a bunch of work but ended up doing it myself so I don't get it. If he was just crew it would be different. So there is my store I'm still trying to figure it out. All I'm saying really is it is a lot harder with Family and Business just be careful. If you want to make more money if that is the real deal then push you business in a new way. Go in to some other part you have not done before. Bird in the nest in better than one in the bush. Good luck and remember it just my cents (and really Canadian dollars so its only worth 1/2 as much) Keith

    How do I put registration marks ABOVE my graphic?

    Man it would be nice to be in Sunny Arazona right now it is still cold in B.C. Vancouver Ok so I have a had the same problem mabye some one have more experience than me can help on this on but I fit my reg marks in top left or top right, or do as you say in the original I leave more space. For the most part I have been adding my Reg marcks in the design program before sending it to SC. Sorry to not be more help. I think in a lot of ways Signcut is just a cut program where Flex SB and the other you can edit also. Keith

  18. So how thick do I have to make a line before it will cut and give me 2 cuts to the line Does anyone understand that question?? if I draw a line in Illy cs4 it cuts the line. all good But say I want to make a grid with lines, I would want the line to be more than just a cut I would want dimension the the line Any they say no question is a dumb question.... Thanks Keith
  19. Blue your trick worked on my file thanks I was able to eek out enough space that I think I don't have to re do anything thanks for that Now if I could just get my cutter to work again Sign cut is killing me Keith

    Plug in for Illustrator CS4

    I got a email back this morning from signcut asking my settings for my plotter. I gave them my settings and right away emailed back. I have waited all day for a response but nothing. I hope other people have better luck with signcut because I just about done with them! I have been working on this issue with for a week now Sign cut does not work with Illy CS4 but there new program will they say. They where very nice to give me a pre-release version of signcut pro but it will not cut at all. I think it is settings but at this point I don't know. I don't know what to say I would assume I will here nothing until Monday?? if anyone has options at this point I would love to here them :- Keith
  21. Can you export to signsut direct from CS4 if so how? Aslo how do you make a eps file that has text and keeps text for signcut x2 Sorry I have been fighting this for a few days now. thanks Keith

    Plug in for Illustrator CS4

    Got Signcut pro the Beta version today but it won't cut It see my cutter I think but it just stalls on the cut. I tried emailing signcut support but I really have no luck there. Are the in a diffrent time zone mabye?? If any one has any thoughts I would be great to get the cutter working it have been down now for allmost a week :'( thanks Keith
  24. Ya sorry I still can't post the file?? Keith
  25. Ok Thank you all for the help on this! I decided for the best interest of my sanity and my computer, because I was going to drive over it with my truck last night, I walked a way and went swimming with my son. So Jay thanks for the file I see what you mean. Of course the file has changed a bit. So I hope it is posted now. I have been having issues with that also. The file is too big. I have few things going on Illy cs4 does not work with signcut x2. So I have got a pre release beta version from signcut. There new signcut pro. It works with cs4. Second I'm new at Illy, no really I know comes to a shock!! Lastly I was no so smart because I though I would do this job quick so I sheared a piece of sheet metal welded up a frame and sent it for powder coating, also I got the project managers and little button cut for the columns and engraved. the point to this is I literally boxed my self in a very tight corner. If I change the dimension I will be remaking the blank and sending it for powder coating again or I have to get new brushed plates re engraved. It really is a good thing right the glass is half full. I have to learn somehow. Bla Bla BLa ok I will give Blues Idea a shot and if not I will make it work with the boxes as jay suggested. Thanks again!! Keith
