Why do I have to go thru the "Create new..." each time in illy? Why not have the option to set it and forget it so that it starts the same each time. Hmmm Corel has this. Why do you need an artboard anyway? Oh yeah, corel doesn't need it.

Looks can be deceiving. Go ahead, try it. It will tell you "can't use that one"

not true. see below

In corel one can simply add an icon to your workspace to run any macro or create a keyboard shortcut for it. My workspace is fully customized to get rid of the default junk icons as I already know the shortcuts for all those.i.e. import/export/copy/paste/cut, align left/right/top/bottom/center...

Hmmm V for Selection, yeah that makes more sense than say P for pick. And M for rectangle, when R makes more sense Again, in Corel you simply hit the space bar to return to the previously used tool.

I see it as a knock to Adobe. In Corel u=you can set whatever key combo you want and for a lot more tools too. How about this one?

Let's say I have the Selection Tool selected then choose the rectangle tool and draw a rectangle now I want to quickly get back to the Selection Tool without having to physically click on it.

Yes, for instance navigate to change the shortcut for Object/Bring Forward. The default is Ctrl+]. Try to change to Ctrl+PgDn which makes a lot more sense imo. Can't do it. How about alignment shortcuts? Hmmm...don't have em. Have to set up actions for those or use a docker which brings up a...

No, quite the contrary. I was referring to creating shortcuts in illustrator. Nearly impossible without 3d party software.

Templates never take into account the various body moldings available. Burned us many a time. All the panels are printed 4-6 inches larger to account for any size differences.We make our customers bring the vehicle in for a survey. Take all our own photos and jot down key measurements. Send them...

Why a template? Why not use photos and key measurements

After taking a look at scripts I see that they are very similar to corel macros. Corel has a lot more macros and is a lot easier to edit/assign shortcuts/add icons to the workspace etc. No 3rd party programs needed. Looking specifically at the "Specify-master" script. Select a shape run the...

If your file has both raster and vector, eps is not the way to go. The file will be huge. PDF is damn near perfect. If it isn't something is going wrong with your pdf settings on output.AS stated too, rgb @ 150, any more is overkill. Also if all vector AND gradient fills, DO NOT USE EPS.

Macros and Actions are basically the same thing. You cannot apply keyboard shortcuts of your choice to actions.Nor can you write your own actions as you can with macros.

OH NO HERE WE GO AGAIN! All sign shops should have both. Corel is a 100 times faster and easier to teach. The workspace is highly customizable. You can add any kind of keyboard shortcuts you want. Macros are way better than "actions" too. That being said, I don't care what you use as long as it...

you can try setting your printer to "double strike"? Makes for a deeper/richer color

This was news from a month ago. Making things interesting already:mad:

We use 3M reflective for all especially for vehicles, has a little more "flex" or "comply" to it. Can print to it then laminate. pia to remove though.

Easily done yourself with a macro in corel. I too, designed my own template for this. Once the design was ready for the proof I just selected what I needed and hit an icon that dropped it onto the template, automatically filled in the artist's name, the current date, the file location etc. drop...

If you know what you're doing, yes. I was sent a link to download files for a job. Each file was over 2GB. All they were were flattened psd files full scale over 500inches and 300dpi!
