Used a combination of illustrator and X7. Crashed corel a few times. Opened in illy & deleted the clipping masks (taking note of the size first), outlined the fonts then united all the text. Saving as as "stripped & fixed" pdf, imported to corel, added the rectangle shape then save as pdf. 10...

Corel is a whole lot faster for sign layouts than illustrator imo. I've been studying Illustrator here recently and can't believe it can't do the simplest things out-of-the box like corel. 1. can't invert/mirror without creating an action or digging into a dialogue 2. can't join two lines of...

Use corelDRAW. I created my own macro to get me what I need. Typically 18x24 coros in a 10-Up configuration for printing to 4x8 sheets of coro. Corel's step and repeat option doesn't work that great. Have many others too. Trying to create a similar function for illy using an action but....

Thanks, I'm slowly learning some things but really have to dig to find what I need to know. When the military dropped me in front of a pc with Corel I was able to pick it up and run with it without tutorials or anything. I absolutely knew nothing about computers or let alone digital design at...

Is it possible to set the default alignment from "Align to Selection" to "Align to Key Object"? p.s. no keyboard shortcuts for alignment?

Too all, I will continue to use Corel as my "go to" but we also must have illustrator and since most jobs require some knowledge I just thought I'd at least try and learn a bit more. I've had illustrator for over 25 and many times tried to learn it but end up frustrated. I thought if only I...

to link or not to link. Figured it out. I didn't uncheck link when placing the image. Hope it stays that way like forever. lol

1. personal preference. I like the way corel handles defaults. If I draw a shape it has no fill, give it a fill and draw another shape it still should have no fill by default. I didn't ask for any attributes from any other source. If needed, in corel, I can right click and drag one shape...

Color window?

If I draw a rectangle the default should be no fill with a black stroke. Why after filling the rectangle I go to draw another and it is now filled with the last colors used? When a shape is filled and selected how can I see the exact color formula without clicking somewhere else? Is it possible...

I'm confused, title reads "How to cut a circle on vinyl 50" in diameter" but the quotes above contradict. 50", 40" or 54"? What size roll is your plotter capable of running?

2 problems 1. Arizona, not looking to move 2. Adobe. Hate it! Yes, I have it & Flexi too. CoreDRAW is way faster!

Can't just set up the file, load etchmark RTA vinyl and plot/cut?

Police cars, if black, are usually black reflective RTA vinyl. On a black trailer that doesn't need/want reflective then you just print a slightly lighter shade of black with a matte laminate. Might do some swatches to get the desired effect.

Uh...are you kidding! I'd never agree to doing something like that! lol But then again I'm not the boss. If he says we'll do it then....

6mm ACM?

Any of the colors set to "Overprint"?

Search the entire hard drive for the exact title of the eps file.

Could have easily been me back in the day. I was in charge of the 33d Fighter Wing Graphics shop at Eglin AFB, FL when I retired in 2004. They shut down the shop about 2 years after USAF phased out the Visual Information career field.
