I have been working with a client in a logo design, He is starting a model company that will market flyng models of scale rockets and missiles. He wanted to empansize scale so we went with a micrometer. As the the font I gave twenty options and he picked one. The micrometer has only one issue...

That has an advangtage over using a gnomon. The gnomon you have to remember to retrieve it before you leave. Sticky notes you can leave behind as they will eventually fall offf of the building or sign and will blow away as biodegradable detrius.

Thank you very much shoresign. That is exactly what I needed. Usually this type of stuff is done by engineering. But I just needed a ballpark figure to meet the requirements of a particularly difficult client.

Anybody who knows both Corel and Illustrator (like me) knows that Corel Draw is superior for use the sign industry because: 1. it can render drawings in Architectural or Engineering scale 2. It can import and export to CAD programs like AutoCAD 3. It comes with dimensioning tools suitable for...

I permanently went to Corel Draw 2018 yesterday. The new feature I like best is Alt-Q switching Snap To on and off. It is also much faster than older versions. In addition I will be able to import the latest Adoe Illustrator and AutoCAD files. As for bugs in previous versions, I would set...

It is a shame Class 1 cleanrooms are not affordable in the sign industry for lamination. That would solve the problem neatly.

I do not need super engineering accuracy on weight estimation, just "ballpark" figures. There must be a simple formula.

The previous posts in this thread sound like dual front and reverse halo illumianted channel letters, or "dual lit channel letters". For reverse halo letters only, you make an alumimum face and then glue the acubend tabs to the BACK of the alunimum face. Then you bondo the seam to make a reverse...

I know they are probably cheap customers, but the ultimate solution is to make an electronic message center type pf sign where you could program the display copy.

Hw do I calcuolate sign weight in a design that is on paper and not built yet? Is there a formula for channel letters and cabinet signs? like pounds per square foot?

If you export your Corel CDR files to PDF with fonts embedded you can reimport it back into Corel for editing.

Inkjet printer manufacturers are coming up with ways to get consumers hooked on thier product. The printers are sold cheap as they force you to purchase expensive ink cartridges. My HP Envy 4520 had a software driver package that automatically subscribed you to replacement cartridges that were...

I am upgrading to 2018 because I am forced to . My main client uses 2018 and they do not like backsaving to 2017 for me. Another reason for upgrading is that the newer version is able to import and export to the latest Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD files.

I took three years of AutoCAD classes in college. I worked for Collins Sign Corporation which used AutoCAD for engineering drawings. I also worked for four years at AD/S and spent many hours trying to coinvince the owners to get AutoCAD and they always balked at the price. I finally gave up and...

What The Font choked on it.

I am curious about how pole and pylon signs held up in the Hurricane. Does anybody have any photographs?

Desigenrsthat come out of design schools were trained in how to use Adobe Illustrator. It is nt hte best software for use in desigining signs. It is slower and cannot draw to scale. It lacks dimensioning tools and works in layers that machines cannot understand. If you cut vinyl nad cut metal...

I highly recommend Hilti Expansion type Anchors. You will also have to make electrical penetrations for each letter. https://www.hilti.com/anchor-fasteners/expansion-anchors
