  1. Regarding Coreldraw X5

    Another point is the auto save function under options. I turned mine off. If I'm working on a large file and after 20min it'll do an auto save and can take like 30 seconds or so to finish before I can move on. I think it's just saving the backup not your actual file, you'll have to do that on...

  3. Regarding Coreldraw X5

    Corel can get a little "sluggish" if a large amount is in the clipboard i.e. you recently copied a large shape or group. You could try copying something simple then see if it helps.I use a "ClearClipboard" macro to do this with a shortcut on my workspace. Also a good idea to dump temp files...

  6. PDF Settings!

    I appreciate the effort but I wouldn't use your file either. Looks like a simple quick trace. Here's how I got the best results. First, for those who haven't actually looked at the pdf I attached, the file uses a form field to input names and I guess do some sort of document distribution whereby...
  7. PDF Settings!

    Tried placing file to new illustrator doc. Still doesn't look like it does in Acrobat Pro. Some elements are missing altogether. If I import to Corel I get the same result. I doubt this particular pdf has anything to do with fonts at all. See attached pdf. Client wants to know if file can be...
  8. PDF Settings!

    Been doing this for a long time. Embedding fonts is nothing but a pima. The only sure way to make a file print ready is to convert the fonts. I get pdf's all the time that I can't use because of missing fonts. I can import it with the option to convert fonts but most cases it fails to interpret...

  10. PDF Settings!

    I just went through the pdf settings in illustrator. No option to convert fonts? Is that something done manually or maybe by turning off "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities"?
  11. Cut vinyl

    We use a 60" but most of our spot color vinyl rolls are 15" and 30". All our printed vinyls are 54". I'd say it depends on your budget.
  12. Organization Tips

    We use a dedicated pc on the front counter to run a slide show of various products, vehicle wraps and such. It's touchscreen so we can pull up a quick font viewer for customers to pick out. We also have products displayed on the walls. We built framed sections with blue carpet on the wall so we...
  13. Seeking advice with creating icons

    A software development company is inquiring about getting icons made for their software. I've creating many icons for my own personal use for my coreldraw workspace but only really simple ones. We're debating whether we should even consider the job. It would be an hourly rate to create the icons...

  15. Suggestions Car Wrap Templates?

    Been designing wraps for 14 years without templates. Take straight on photos of the actual vehicle with some sort of reference. Most slap a 1" x 12" magnet to the side then take the shot. Scale in the program of your choice then make your own Clipping Masks/Poweclips. All prints are done as...

    All my cuts, including weed lines etc. are always set up within the CorelDRAW file. All our cuts are made from corel using the FineCut plug-in. Only use Flexi for the Production Manager to manage prints.
