    FYI if anyone is running a Mac and SCAL pro.   I have a very fast Imac Pro and SCAL V5.009 pro was running very slow when typing text or moving objects around the screen.

    The fix is to right click on the SCAL 5 app icon and select more info.  Then check the "open in low resolution" radio box (under General).  This only effects on screen drawing or refresh. Does not effect output.

    Now running like V4 and 3 did (very fast and responsive)

    What ever you do outside of printing and applying your own logo to his racecar/fleet/....  Do not print any other logos without written permission that they has the authority to reproduce.  There have been a number of other businesses here in the forums being sued for reproducing logos that the racecar drive did not have permission to do so.

    good luck

    Not sure when this was released but did not see it listed in the forums.  Also my check for updates (OSX) did not work... After checking the forums here and noticing 4.069 being posted.  I ran over to Craftedge and tried to grab that version only to find out a newer version has been released.

    I'm running OSX 10.13.5

    I think your saying is when you apply your logo to the curved serface, it destorts.  Just like applying a line of text to a windsheild? That line of straight text is now curved. 

     

    What I do is apply a sheet of paper to the windsheild and then snap a straight line, remove paper and you now have your arc that when followed will be straight.   Same thing just on a smaller surface and or tighter arc.

     

    good luck

    Thanks everyone,

     

    While I agree and that's how I layout my own URLs and recommend it to others.  It drives the tech side of me crazy and would never do that for a "Tech" customer.  This is a car performance shop so mixed case works.  

     

    I'll give them a few choices, starting with Serif.

    Another thing,

     

    Let him provide you with the actual file of his logo (and not from google- LOL), that along with the release should cover you.   I know when my company (large WW corp) has anything printed, we always provide the artwork and 3D guidlines, to the printer as well as a release if needed.

     

    One more thing,  If he is willing to sign a release try and get it for say 12 months so when he wants to do more items, you are covered for said period without having to keep signing releases
