    Paths, seperating pieces of a project

    Post the file in svg or eps and I or someone will help you out. You are going to have to do a little cutting and joining here and there to get what you are wanting. If you are using SCALP it will be a lot of work.

    My little one helping out on a 20ft banner

    LOL! I have a 2 yr old who likes to help me out too. She is better help than my older kids when it's time to carry things to the trash. Good times man.

    My 9 & 11 year olds training

    A couple of my kids have been wanting to learn to us Illustrator since they see me "playing" with it so much. They found a pic online and did most of the work vectorizing this by hand the hard way. If they are going to learn it I want them to learn it right. They are going to be handy to have around once I get them dialed in.

    Can anyone get the car out of this photo

    If/when I ever go ahead and start doing the cloud version I will have access to PS and I think after watching you pick things apart like that I'm going to have to be sure and learn some of those tricks as well. Real nice work.

    Rub n Buff - glass etching....

    That stuff is pretty tough. I don't have any that I am currently washing that are on glass but I used some on a test run on the back of an aluminum cookie sheet that has been through a whole bunch of cook>wash cycles without any signs of a problem.

    My 9 & 11 year olds training

    Well technically there are two so.... I had to help out with some of the technical stuff and there are all kinds of gradients that we never got around to doing. Bottom line is it was a lot of fun seeing new recruits get the bug!

    Bad Corporate Logo

    Those are hilarious!
  12. Yep, been there and done that myself. I was cutting fine sand then slid my pinch roller over to where it wasn't over a friction spot on the drive shaft and everything went real bad.

    How to resolve a problem with exporting in CorelDraw?

    Why is this thread in the Illustrator forum? Is this a subconscious lean toward Illy?
  14. Take an authorization letter with you that says something along the line that the undersigned has full legal authority to authorize its use and that your company will be indemnified and held harmless for any work you do specifically for him. Have him sign it, if he is hesitant then you can probably get a good idea if he really has the authority and you can suggest he looks into it before you begin.

    SignBlazer vs Sure Cuts A Lot Pro

    Illustrator is just a design program. There are plug-ins from several cutting programs that will allow you to cut FROM illustrator but they are basically a shortcut to the actual cutting software. If you can design in Illy then you can just use SCALP as a cutting tool and it isn't completely worthless in that regard. There are several other cutting options. Flexi, SignCut (what I use) Signblazer, old but still handy if you have an older computer to run it.

    Wet Install....

    I just finished off a bottle of that brand and had good luck with it. Smells nice.

    How do I do this

    I don't see a pic but most use a decent monogram font and some who are talented enough draw them out themselves.

    will vinyl stick too....

    What about HTV on the soft covers? I have a friend who is wanting one and I haven't gotten around to it yet but I was hoping if it's canvas type product I could press it on.
  19. Wildgoose

    will this work

    You are talking about what...$24 per 10yd roll of 24" difference in cost. You think you will use more than 30 or 60ft of vinyl? $24-$48 extra? Seems pretty minimal to me in the grand scheme of things.

    Text outlining?

    SCALP really kinda sucks for most of that kind of thing. I'm not Corel literate so I can't help you much with the details but you are WAY better off to spend your time learning to use it and just cut from SCALP after you design elsewhere.

    graphic request

    Looks pretty easy to just duplicate. Be a good practice job for your corel x5 program.

    Adobe To Corel

    I am with you on the cloud based stuff. pisses me off. I am running CS5 and I think you can get CS6 with a disc too. They aren't that much for Illustrator on a stand alone basis. The whole suite is pretty pricey. You might try the free trial of Corel. I did and decided I didn't like the way they go about things. I do think you can buy a year at a time but again, with the government you might find yourself SOL at renewal time.

    Magnet corner cutters?

    Thats a pretty good looking rounder dakota. For magnets I just use my wifes little craft cutter. Magnets arent' that tough. I want a Gnarly Bob rounder one of these days but I'm like most of the rest and fins other ways of getting it done. I keep hoping harbor freight will build one one of these days.
