  1. VE LXI software... filling outlines

    FWIW DXF files created and exported from Illustrator do not have straight segments for curves. The segmented curves must be a characteristic of files created from CAD type programs. I have a handful of customers that request DXF files. When I reopen the DXF files in Illustrator, all of the...

  5. Uninstall help

    Would that work after a month? Maybe if you regret installing something and you do it the next hour or day. My guess is the OP tried the software for a month and has since wanted to remove it. In that month too much has been added to the hard drive to make the HD image of any use to undo I am...

  8. New trace video

    I cannot remember off hand. I don't make design decisions on a logo. If someone created something ugly or broke a design rule that is not up to me to change it. I only change art if I am asked to. Sometimes I will make small adjustments on alignments but not substitute fonts

    I guess I need to play around with it more. Trying to figure out why it is any better than the unite pathfinder tool
  10. New trace video

    Note too that the up down/arrows jumps in too large of an increment when tracing very small graphics. I usually size up my raster art 300-1000% so that when using a tool like this you can fine tune it better. Try it with a small rounded rectangle and then work large and see how the up/down...

    Yes, what tony said
  12. New trace video

    Here is another video. The purpose is this video is to show how I created a set of letters in the logo using only the rectangle tool, rounded rectangle and the pen and selection tool to connect everything up. Some shapes were used as a starting point for other similar letters. Illustrator CS3...

    That ship done sailed. Happens, oh well I got more views
  15. Watch me trace

    Practice. As Bobby H mentioned I could get anal and drag some angled guidelines in there. Had the art been really rough I could have done so Out of curiosity i opened up the file and drew one line along the angle of a letter and copied it to see if they matched. Every angle is an exact match...

    Thank you. 2 factors on the speed. Practice and a Wacom tablet
  17. Watch me trace

    Tablet, which helps tremendously with speed. I hate using a mouse anymore for anything. I barely use it and the mouse I have is top of the line
  18. Watch me trace

    Yes I do that too. If there is a capital "I" I can use that as a basis for each letter. I even will trace just one half of a serif and copy/flip both horizontally and vertically. No reason to trace the serif of each letter
