In Illustrator: EFFECT>3D>EXTRUDE AND BEVEL... make sure the PREVIEW is on. There is a lot of crap you have to do to make it cuttable, like you might have to copy the top text, you can expand it, then ungroup, then weld it all together and color as needed, copy in front, expand that, remove...

AutoCad made a Mac Version... last version was around 1992. Exciting to see a Mac version... I may do the switch when it's time to upgrade.

Apple must be doing something that concerns the industry, with the possible merger of Microsoft and Adobe, I'm guessing it's Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer who are getting kinda cozy right now... not that there is anything wrong with that... My issue with Flash and...

hello from a fellow I.E.er... I'm not a big fan of them, but a few of my clients and former employers use SignMart in Orange... http://www.sign-mart.com/products/index.aspx

I agree with SignosorusRex as well... I worked at a union shop and was given info and journeyman level/job descriptions and pay scales. You should know or have been told the next pay hike for the job. Looking at your "skills" it only has equipment and software... who really cares. Most of the...

I'll retire when you pull the mouse, pencil or brush from my cold, dead hands.....

I'm thinking you did not read the links or my post.... plus, what does "what not" mean? Forget the other comments. It is a State requirement. _______ Basic info: Anyone performing construction work in California that totals $500 dollars or more in labor and materials must be...

hmm... well in Arizona the license is the L-38 Contractors License... Do not know about cities not requiring one, since it is a State thing. Cities are usually required to follow and inspect using the building code which included requiring a Licensed Sign Contractor... The Cities I have dealt...
