There's a whole lot more to know than just applications alone. The best way to learn the various programs is one on one sessions or tutorials. Corel is, by far, the easiest to learn without too much intervention. Yeah, gonna get a lot of flack for that but.... Ask questions on the specific forum...

Oh, I see. We do 99% of our own printing, application and cutting. On occasion we send out to have signs at that size and was just curious how the vendors would set it up to do it.

Just curious, how many 18x24's can you cut from a 4x8 sheet of coro?

Closest I've come is Area 51 Industrial using a lowercase "n". Still have to modify other characters.

Can't just export as pdf? The other print shop should know what to do from there.

Yeah, Corel don't like them there convoluted Canva PDF's. I usually try illustrator then save again as pdf. I did try this sight that was mentioned earlier. It fixed me up too.

I have pondered the idea of making my macros more accessible. Maybe at least in a new post and just add more from time to time. The trouble with a lot of these macros is that I had a lot of help in writing them and I wouldn't want credit to go unnoticed. Also many of my macros fit my workflow...

also have a separate one to do White crops.

This both scripts

Wow. I try for hours to find answers before asking. You can call me any name but "lazy" I am not! What happened to "no such thing as a stupid question."

Hmm, kind of the same here. Our working files are kept on a server, then once approved we send pdf's or tiffs to the print tech via a RIP Station. All those files are kept in an archive folder. If a designer pulls up the file all they will see is the 1 working file. That file might have several...

I appreciate the help. Our "work files" & "production files" are 1 in the same. I suppose one could duplicate the artboard and have 1 as the working and 1 as the production file? Not sure how you'd distinguish 1 from the other though. I suppose it would be best to have them separate? I did...

I doubt that I'll ever "cross over". I don't have to use illustrator just want to become more familiar with it. I will just refrain from pushing 1 software over the other. With that said, I'm not sure I follow you. Let me describe a practical situation. I have text on an ellipse path now it's...

Couple of questions. 1. How to separate text from a text path? Not create outlines though. Must remain editable text. 2. Highlight & delete text on a path. line is still a text path. How to change it to a regular path?

Might look at this free macro
