NewToSigns 0 Posted November 5, 2009 I am using Flexi Starter and InkScape, I am trying to do a windshield banner and I can not get the right arc. Kinda because I can't figure out how to use inches or dimensions in InkScape. Does anyone have and will be willing to put out there a .EPS file of a Banner you have done in a real version of Flexi that I can just go in and edit text and stuff. Thank You in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 5, 2009 all windshields have a different arc to them, you have to measure the windshield first like this http://clipartandfonts.com/TUTORIALS_windshield_text.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewToSigns 0 Posted November 5, 2009 I have tried but flexistarter wont let me arch text, and when i do it in inkscape i dont have actual inches to make ovals with. Am I just missing something in these programs? I am New at thise, but I have been messing with this banner for 5 or 6 hours now. I know I am missing something, just not sure where.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 5, 2009 there is no arch text in Flexistarter .... Also I have made windshield banners for several years and have never arched them They apply just fine without an arch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
