Anyone else getting an error when trying to use WhatTheFont from CorelDRAW? This started about a week ago.

I believe this has changed for CC2018. 'Bout time. Now you have an "Export", as well as, an "Export Selected"

Now that there's just wrong. Funny, but wrong.:dog42:

Wrote it myself. It's actually two macros. 1 to "get the scale of selected rectangle" and 1 to set the scale equal the first. So you import your image, draw a rectangle as close as possible to an area you've measured. We use a 12" magnet slapped on the side of a vehicle or just take a...

very similar to one my co-worker did here a while back.

hmmm...whole lot easier with...

scaling a photo to near actual size can be done many ways. I use a corel macro. Basically if you take a measurement of an element of the photo i.e. window size, tag size, emblem etc. Just scale the image up until that area in the image is the same size.

Just take a side shot of the boat and jot down some key measurements then scale to size in the program of your choice and design away?

I agree. There's no "do it all" software. Most sign shops have many programs. Corel/Photopaint Illustrator/photoshop Flexi (Used only for Print Management/RIP) SignLab Adobe Acrobat Pro MS Office

Import the ai file to Corel and BAM! All clipping masks are ignored and/or released

I actually hate clipping masks. That's why I use powerclips instead

Hmmm.guess I meant "smiley face" not frowny face

Yep, the print should be a "frowny face" configuration i.e curved. That way as it's applied it rolls out straight.

Well spoken my friend. I will lay the matter to rest. To each his own

Uhhh. not the same. You have to hold Ctrl key each and every time. Does not "toggle" the tools.

I don't use AI. I have it if all else fails. As all signs shops should. I'm merely adding to the great debate as requested by the orig post. Corel vs. Illustrator No one will ever convince me that Adobe is better than Corel. I have yet to find a design that cannot be done in Corel.

Anything is a pain if it slows me down. 1 click is way faster than 5 or 6. And if you don't have to click at all...GOLDEN! btw Does illy have a dimension tool? No. But "you can use a script" , however, once you run the script you can't edit the dimensions nor will they change as you resize a...
