As cool as it would be to have a CNC, I would crawl before getting into a slow jog....what are you going to do with it? I could do a lot with it but I would have a few clients lined up before I ever purchased a router. Vinyl is not the fastest and quickest way to make money but it is a good...

Yes, it also has custom scale capabilities as well.....

I used to work the way Doug did before CadTools came out, I mostly did the Full size to 8.333% or if was too big, then at a percentage. Most of the stuff is architectural and large or complicated signs with multiple scales on multiple layers and most of the people involved are architects or city...

You can do the same in Corel or Illustrator. Corel has the advantage of having scale tools built into the program and it is inexpensive. Illustrator can do it (I do all my sign designing in Illustrator) BUT you need CadTools (www.hotdoor.com) to work in scale, but CadTools has better scale...

My brother had a 454 Chevelle when he was 18, that was way too much car for that kid.......I was a very good driver when I was young and I was always tempted to burn the hides off that car. He made a small fortune when he sold it.

My old school Vans.....

I read this on another forum, I heard that it may be past March 27th...someone may have jumped the gun a little bit...but it would be nice but I bet I will need an updated Cadtools too :(

Did you try the "Pathfinder" window? and once you use one of the "Pathfinder" options, hit "expand"

Don't forget www.LetterheadFonts.com too, they have some great scripts and a sweet gallery...see the banner below.... You can also find some cool scripts at www.signdna.com, www.houseindustries.com, www.fontdiner.com and www.veer.com too

Welcome from a fellow IE'er

The move to Intel is a big deal for everyone. I will not get an Intel mac until Adobe CS3 comes out. I have heard that designers who switched too soon had initial problems with Adobe CS2 Suite. I'm glad Mac made the move but it's going to take a while too work the bugs out.

On CS2, Go to your "View" window and near the bottom should be "Snap to Point" and "Snap to Grid"...like Geary just said, some older version of Illy have it in the preferences area but I can't remember version 9

I only have "snap to point" on. It sounds like you have "snap to grid" on and that would drive me crazy too....

Who resurrected this 2 1/2 your old post? Just stay away from that Distorting Text thread and we will get along just fine......

I would say that is Frutiger Bold and Regular.

After a job like this, I feel so dirty......I shower a lot and rock back and forth in the corner babbling some form of nonsense.

Having heard about Corels command of the sign industry for over 9 years on the internet I would say more shops are looking at Illustrator a lot more than the used too. I have heard more than once, that Corel was the "industry standard" which was probably the most misinformed statement I have...

Welcome! I started with car club graphics too...You can probably learn in one day at a Letterhead/Pinhead meet than by yourself in one year. You should check out some meets in your area..... www.pinheadlounge.com www.autoartmagazine.com www.letterhead.com and check out thier upcooming meets.

I stayed away from one of the threads but I have seen the feud on one product for the last few years and I have to say It got old 3 years ago and made a mess of Signweb which at the time was the better sign forum....give it up and let the man sell his stuff.....and don't bring that crap over here.

Got to: WINDOW-LINKS you can link and embed from there.... You can see your images there.... On what is best, I would ask the printer who is going to do it, depending on how it's printed I always found the printer wanted them linked so they can adjust the Photoshop images for color matching...
