Hi FastSigns... As I remember it, my Spindle (X & Y) was right near the 0,0 mark and the Z axes was about half way down its length of travel. (up and down) Since the software expects to find the Z axis limit switch first, I needed to move the spindle to its top of travel. All I needed to do...

Good Day Letter Heads!! I have a client who has a 6 ft. x 6 ft. wooden sign that has 12, horizontal 1” x 6” x 6’ cedar boards. They had their Logo (a silhouette of a tree) painted BLACK directly on to the wooden horizontals. Naturally, though the years, the boards absorbed moisture and have...

Hey RouterHeads I am wanting to cut out a few sign blanks using .080 aluminum sheets. I’ve never done this before so I thought I would pass this by those of you who have. So here are my questions… 1. Are there different types of .080 aluminum…meaning, are there “softer/harder” grades? If...

Thanks 2CT, a least one person cuts this stuff. :) How about everyone else...Have you or Do you cut 3M White High Intensity Prismatic Reflective Sheeting? Because it is 17mil thick, have you experienced any problems in cutting? How about weeding and applying Transfer Tape??? Barry

About a year ago, I installed way-finding House Number signs for a subdivision using 24” x 6”, Flat Aluminum Street Name Blanks (Blades) from my supplier. The Blades came covered with 3M White High Intensity Prismatic Reflective Sheeting. Using HP Black opaque Vinyl, I simply cut the numbers...

WOW!!!! 32 replies to my question!! There might be an answer in there somewhere. :) Hi there, remember me? I'm the guy who asked the original question! "How to import an editable EPS file format into Corel x3 from Illustrator." The Designer solved the problem and it works perfectly. I...

I am running CorelDraw X3 and have a problem with Importing .EPS files from clients using Illustrator. From Corel’s IMPORT EPS Dialog Box, I choose the Import Option of IMPORT AS EDITABLE CURVES. That is when I get the Error Message. So I have two questions… 1. Is there a workaround...

Hi Bill I'm asking $125 and that includes shipping. If interested, send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a few pictures of the book so you can decide.

Hi There! I have one for sale, but I believe it would be a bit too costly to send it to Madrid, Spain. With the cost of shipping, it might be cheaper if you purchased a brand new one from Gerber.

Hi Jburns Thanks for your reply. Your comment that you had used Omega 2.5 on a Win 7 machine was very interesting to me. I thought the highest Operating System Omega 2.5 could run on was XP. Jburns said that he is not CURRENTLY running Win 7 and 2.5. SOOoooo, how about the rest of...
