I just do not use Find and Replace all that much. I set my autobackup to ten minutes for insurance against crashes, and hit Ctrl-S whenever I do some complicated command. A habit I have been using since Corel Draw 4 in 1994

And for cross platform users, here it is in PDF format, which can be imported into Corel Draw.

On the opposite side of the coin, I cannot stand when sign shop owners release mockup drawings for production. The guys in production need shop drawings and not artsy fartsy printouts. Just my two bits worth as a drafting school trained sign designer.

An easy fix would be to print the damn AI file on paper, scan it in and retrace it all. Or do a screen capture and do the same thing. Illy is great for the print industry but sorely lacking for the sign industry.

I draw to architectural or engineering scale and simply scale the sign up for full pattern files.

The blade signs can be narrow, as said. To prevent damage they can be mounted with spring loaded hinges so if the forklift driver hits them they will swing out of the way.

I am running Corel Draw version 2021 (Version 23) and after three weeks of working almost every day, it has only crashed twice. It seems to be a more stable version than earlier ones.

Back in the "old days" of neon illuminated channel letters , when a raceway was needed, an 8"x8" raceway was the defacto standard. Now that we use LEDs, the power supplies are getting to be amazingly small in size, so a big 8x8 raceway is not needed anymore. So how small can we go? It is...

It is spooky indeed.

I am a freelance designer with a drafting background. Ii can render isometric drawings using Corel Draw.

Most customers need to be educated about the differences between raster bitmaps and vector art.
