Thanks guys.....I just ordered the boxed version It comes with that lynda.com training CD as well. Somebody posted links to some of their samples and I learned more yesterday than I learned in several years of playing with the thing. John

Skyhigh...... Actually we do have a couple potential openings. One is for Electronics (GS-1670) Equipment Specialist and the other is the same only it is a Mechanical job with a specialty in aircraft emergency arresting gear. We slap down portable airfields with arresting gear or VTOL...

Skyhigh......No worries...... Believe me our ideals and beliefs are identical. I wouldn't supply a free product to a guy who I thought was gonna make money off of Uncle Sam with it either. I assume full responsibility for the way I worded that. As for being a Patriot.....I cut myself the...

Fred....Thanks..... I'm taking a business trip out to our Headquarters in Lakehurst New Jersey followed by a trip to MCAS Beaufort South Carolina. I have the manual on my computer and Illustrator CS2 on my Mac. I'll see if I can make them while I'm flying the friendly skies. Thanks.......John

Skyhigh.... By "Easy Money" I meant it was easy to do. Nothing more.....nothing less. I'm a GS Worker not a contractor and all I'm trying to do is save time on my CAD drawings with an accurate font. I directly support the US Marine Expeditionary Forces and by directly I mean, I go where...

That was the place I was referring to in my post where I got the Navy, Air Force and Carrier fonts. Runway Designator Station markings are slightly different from their Carrier marks. John

This is how I got my start: I worked for Uncle Sam in Iwakuni Japan as a Corrosion Control Tech Rep for a period of time. I talked the powers that be and talked them into buying us a stencil machine to save money and reduce paint usage. After I started getting good at it the same powers...

Matthew, I saw that from your response in "the new guy" forum. I'm not in business so don't want to plop down too much cash. I don't mind paying for value though. I don't see myself going into business but I do seeing myself augmenting my income a bit and possibly opening a little shop...

I work for Uncle Sam and oversee the building of expeditionary airfields. Those are the aluminum mat runways that pop up overnight and wreak havoc and then quietly disappear. Yes, I've been to Iraq a couple times. We draw our sites in AutoCad and I'm responsible for lighting and marking...

I'm considering picking up CorelDraw12. I currently use 10. I can download an upgrade from Corel for $129 but it comes without fonts or clipart. I have the fonts and clipart collections from Corel 10. Am I missing anything by not buying a boxed version. Besides a book. I always hit the...

I'm actively searching the world for a stand alone sign program. Everyday it seems I find a new one. My guess is somewhere out there is a gem I haven't found yet that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I currently use CorelDraw 10 with CoCut Pro, I also use Roland CutStudio and direct cut from...

Blackbok.....Stika SX-12 Frustrations I feel for you.....I also have a Stika SX-12. I used it a couple years then put it in the box then got it back out. When I hooked it back up I had a heck of a time cutting the most basic stencil. When I sat down and thought about it I wondered what was...

I've been cutting signs and decals for a few years now but only as a hobby, mostly for myself and mostly just for fun. I've gotten paid a couple times but don't actively try to get paying jobs. I started with a Roland PC-60 that I used at work in a corrosion control facility for Marine Corps...
