I love flexisign personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love flexisign personally I have VE LXi expert 12 idk if just not use to it but I have had problems with it since day one going on bout 3 months now. I never had one problem with signcut pro, like LXI never wants to cut out the letters perfect there is always a squiggly line some where it really takes away from my perfectionist. if I go to vectorize then Bezier it should make an out line perfect but I can upload a pic show you what it does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 18, 2017 so why didn't you identify the fonts and recreate it with clean artwork to begin with = there isn't a vectorizing program out there I have found that does decent work compared to recreating - that one would be easy to do. that along with it looks like it was vecotored from a small raster image so it followed each pixel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 18, 2017 time to learn how to work with real vector graphics after 7 years so you can create quality work - vectors are made mathematically so the lines are always smooth no matter how they are sized. not sure why you would create one with pixels and then convert when you are trying to make clean artwork unless it is just not taking the time to learn it after that long 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 18, 2017 now that I think about it you didn't need me to identify the fonts if you created this in the first place in paint - so I added some useless information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xbrandondrakex 0 Posted March 19, 2017 my work is been very good with sign cut pro that's how I have always done it now I got a new program and it don't work like I am used to my opinion LXI is junk I have done alot of $2000 dollar jobs because my works was always great and I been referred many times so that's not the problem... but this is getting way off topic everyone has different ways of doing things.

mfatty500 454 Posted March 19, 2017 It's not getting off topic, re-draw or go to brands of the world and get the Ohio State O/Logo and add the text, not that difficult, everybody here is dang good about helping one another 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
