If you zoom in on the picture, you can see the face returns have attachments. Remove them, and you can access the anything holding the sign together, or the attachments to the posts. Not a big fan of rivets, I would have plug weld and glued it together over a kerfed cut aluminum frame. I would...

And an a-hole to tell you it's spelled "booger" :tongue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dried_nasal_mucus

You're right! I used to make the owner do that... or have them do tape it off early in the morning... but you just reminded me of a few other things...

I want to move to Canada.... If the OP is selling to the end user, they need to know the complete process.... Over here it's: Prior to installation: Research Code Research comprehensive sign program details Verify what is required to pull permit Design Get Down Payment (the earlier in the...

I can't imagine a signshop requiring instruction... are you planning on selling to the end-user and contractors? If so, you might check out Signmonkey.com - as repulsive as they are to me, they have basic instructions you could get "inspiration" from.

So I know I have been a slight irritant to you (and others) but like the "Order Up!" and the "Wayfinding" church sign. You're clients (and mine) seem to suffer from interpretive descriptions.... What does "jazzy" mean? I know what it means to me but T. Monk-ing, Brubeck-ing or Davis-ing this...

I would not have used the materials you called out but that is one sweet sign...

I believe this... but not everyone wants good design. People with bad taste will only hire lackluster designers and thats fine with me. When I get a client with bad taste... I spend the money on something I want but don't necessarily need, that way I don't feel so dirty...

Thats up to you, but I really think you could learn something. Maybe it's the way you come off? Maybe I could react better? So, there are 2 types of designers - most sign shops "Execute" design. When you become an expert - you start to become more "strategic" Strategic pays better... When you...

Well, I guess I'm not getting an answer. Depending on the work you are doing, it can be simple as a one page thing similar to jfiskus, or if it's architectural or electrical, it may include location plan, location elevation, elevations (front, rear, sides and/or plan) with basic callouts and...

Or Renfrew...:roflmao:

After the "contemporary" logo I am going to preemptively add another :banghead: After seeing your site - I would have thought you would have some design basics down, even if you are not good at it... which I find odd since you taut a software you seemingly have no command of. Just like...

:banghead:

A "Proof" as in the final design and call outs to be fabricated/printed/installed for final sign off by the customer? Or "Proof" as in the drawing to sell the sign? Either way, we use Illustrator with CadTools

To the OP... AMS's procedure is a pretty accurate way of doing it and I don't want to take away from that... though I prefer white paper because it's easier for my bolder eyes to see the plot pen markings. Making stud placement the same on multiple letters is SOP in every shop I ever worked...

Huh?

10. Make sure with multiple letters, you place the studs in the exact same place (copy the letters and stud pattern, paste, then place) that way if the letters get mixed up on the field, multiple letters will work in any location.

Never had my Olfa handle fail to hold the blade but I have had cheaper imitations fail after a while I prefer the locking/retractable Olfa but with a 30 degree snap-off blade - works like a charm on intricate cuts... https://olfa.com/professional/product/wheel-lock-utility-knife-300/...

I care for my aging parents, it's tough, even tougher that the time has come. My heart goes out to you and your father. Hoping your presence will give him comfort.

I use Illustrator with CadTools, in the Cadtracker window, there is the information for area, I think it’s been around since 1997 For Corel, you can use Corel Designer or... For Corel Draw, someone developed a macro years ago, the updated version can be found on this thread...
