  1. Feedback on Layout

    Their tree logo, quite frankly, blows chunks. There is waaaay to much copy in it that forces the viewer to try to read it. Try a simplified logo.
  2. Question Flexi - Measurement Tool - Fractions?

    Corel Draw can dimension in fractions. You can purchase a Calculated Industries Measure Master calculator too. It conversts decimal to fractions and vice versa. https://www.calculated.com/default.asp?idSection=45#4
  3. Graphtec tech support is horrible and cutting master 4 is a joke

    You are a victim of 21st century tech support policies. Many corporations have terminated voice technical support and will only help you by way of "chat" or messages. It is a sign of the times. It takes patience now. At least with the new system you get hard copies of your communications. I...
  4. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    You are correct. Corel is what is known as "horizontal" sofware that is inexpensive as it is sold in a wider market. FlexiSign, SignLab, and Neon Wizard sell in a narrower market and is known as "vertical" software. Not as many units sold so the price is higher.
  5. Check the Price of ACM before you bid

    Tarriffs never work. Andrew Jackson learned the hard way. Way back in the 1840s.
  6. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    I will make a sample pdf file later and upload it here.
  7. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    I like that tool too. I can take it further by using Windows 10 Picture editor to make EMC movies that can play inside drawing PDF files that are sent to the client.
  8. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    A single page demonstration on how Corel Draw 2018's Pointillizer Tool can quickly simulate Electronic Message Center Displays from both bitmap and vector graphics.

  10. How to Determine Pole Depth of Pre-Existing Pylon Sign

    Area on odd shapes can be calculated using CAD software like "perimeter" in AutoCAD. But city planners like the simple rectangle method. Do not expect counter people to be math whizzes. They are usually the offspring of city officials.
  11. Thermal Expansion on Glass

    It is shop mathematics. A universal language.
  12. Thermal Expansion on Glass

    The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is 0.4 in/in/Degrees F x 10 to the -5th power. This information is straight from the Machinery's Handbook, a reputable source.
  13. Best way to deal with seams on multiple face panels across large lighted cabinet?

    Another point. If it is a single face sign that originally had a pan form face, it may have been engineered for a pan face because the distance from the lamps to the sign face is a factor. If it used a minimum depth cabinet, you may get lamps showing uneven lighting ("hot spots") because they...
  14. New Product Digital design/ tea company

    Regardless of the border the "By Scarlet Macaw" copy is way too small and way too tight.
  15. tablet aid for sales and networking

    Androd OS tablets can display photos and PDF files just as well as an IPad and cost much less. Apple/Mac/Ipad/Iphone is way too proprietary to me and they apps are way overpriced. Many andriod apps are free.
  16. Is 1/2" acrylic an appropriate to use for a sign panel?

    Acronyms acronyms. HDU= High Density Urethane ACM= Aluminum Composite Material ("DiBond") or...."Abestos Containing Material" LOL
  17. Black vinyl on Large windows

    IMHO Brown paper is less expensive than black vinyl. just put some cheap vinyl copy on the paper or print on it "opening Soon" and use low adhesive tape to put it on tyhe window second surface. Costs less and the customer comes back for some real signage for his fascia.
  18. Question How do you lift large signs into place >10ft high?

    Replace "not cool" with "NOT SAFE!" You can get injured from a ten foot fall.
  19. Buying Corel on eBay? Why the price difference?

    You are hijacking the thread. It is about Corel Draw and not SignLab.
