express2100 154 Posted November 17, 2014 I have been using Graphtec Studio with my MacBook Pro which I do like for its simplicity and the fact that I can cut right from GS but I know I will need more if I want to be successful so I started my 30 day trials this weekend. Yeah I think I'll need much longer than that to get the gist of this software. I thought I was making progress and put out some pretty nice work using GS but now I am totally lost again and feeling greener than ever Time to hit YouTube and research research research. If you guys have time for a little advise I sure would appreciate it. I'm sure I'll be full of questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 17, 2014 look in the adobe section of the forum. I have written two or three rather lengthy posts helping with the main basics of the illustrator side of things. You will be using a newer version of AI but most of the info will still be applicable. It's really more of an order of operations kind of thing with AI in understanding how AI looks at objects. Once you learn a few of the basics the rest aren't as tough as it looks at first. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted December 5, 2014 Hey Express, what version of Ai are you using and i assume Ai is the trial you speak of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted December 5, 2014 Yup...the learning curve on all these programs is steep and those 30 day trials are barely just the tip of the iceberg. PLUS, when you are regularily using several programs you start getting the commands mixed up...and forget which program you are working in! Or is that just old age? ? I forget..............
