signpro 1 Posted March 15, 2009 When I make a logo or a design with on or multiple shadows or outlines, how do i seperate the two when it comes time to cut?? Any how-to vids on this using flexi software? Thanks Much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signpro 1 Posted April 6, 2009 I guess my question is this: When I'm going to cut an object and it's shadow (like flames) and I go ahead and put two boxes above it on each side and then bring up production manager to cut both the object and it's shadow, the boxes will show in the bold part to be cut but not in the shadow part to be cut. I'm trying to bring up both squares for the object and it's shadow to be able to line them up properly but cannot seem to get it to work. Do you know what I'm saying??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Guest fivestar Posted April 7, 2009 No.........just be sure when you cut it you have all colors selected and the "pause between colors" selected in production manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted April 7, 2009 Import this file and see if it works. I would of saved it as a flexi file but you're using a different version than me and you wouldn't of been able to open it. Untitled.eps Untitled.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signpro 1 Posted April 7, 2009 nope no go.. the boxs show up in the outline but no boxs in the main red TEST... I think flexi's acting like crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 7, 2009 hhhmmm.........no I just tried that file and it only showed up in shadow for me too.....see if you can open this file. It's zipped so unzip it first. Untitled1.zip Untitled1.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signpro 1 Posted April 7, 2009 production manager showed both at once. won't let me change from shadow to main..both main and shadow show up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 7, 2009 That's what you want with reg marks.......check "pause between colors" so it will send one color at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signpro 1 Posted April 7, 2009 OMG........!!! I found what was throwing me for a loop!! In production manager (advanced) SEND ALL COLORS was checked...DAH! Now with these registration marks I included, what will they look like when I cut the main and then shadow? THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP FIVESTAR!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
