Here's a picture of how I do it.

Geez... just put a few screws in it when you get a chance. I don't care for the maltese cross either but the rest of the sign looks nice.

Ummm.... what? GG, I think it's cool that you can do calculations in the little boxes I just don't seem to be smart enough to figure out a use for it. What are you using it for again? I got the impression you were wanting to make logos drawn over photos full size for cutting or printing. I...

Isn't it "GrapixUnlimited.ca"? We may be just primitive ice people up here but we do have .ca, .com, .net, etc. just like our sophisticated US neighbours. :Canada 2:

I draw line across the door width and select the logo and the line. I then copy and paste it somewhere else on the page. Then I select both the logo and line and type the actual dimension of the door width (say 48") in the appropriate size box and hit enter. Presto... the logo is full...

He approved a red x in a white square?

I don't understand the question. :( I'm going to go sulk now...

Well..... he asked for Illustrator..... I emailed him a 1/4 sized jpeg at 300 dpi and asked how it would work. We shall see.

Say what.....? You mean I spent 3 hours in hell (I mean Illustrator) when I coulda just sent him a big jpeg?! I gotta go beat the @#$%^&^ outta the dog.... be right back.

Yeah... you can do the bevel in Corel Photopaint too. It has a few more options than regular Draw, but I gotta send the file to a guy who doesn't have Corel draw for printing.

OK thanks. Do I do it full size?

Hmmmm...... I can't seem to drag and drop from Photoshop to Illustrator. As soon as I click the graphic in PS, Illy disappears! I can cut and paste but I don't get the bevel that way... just a solid coloured bitmap of the font.

Eric... it's a similated bevel. You can't break it apart and get the shapes. I can tell you that it does this effect with a single click though. Then you mess with the siders to fine tune the effect. It's so simple I can do it. You should see it in Xara.... mind boggling.

BTW... I have discovered that you can open Illy files in CorelX4 by clicking on "open..." Illustrator won't open a Corel file no matter what I've tried. Anyone know the trick?

I have CS4. Try what you just said for me (if it's not too much trouble) and see if it works for you. I just get a mess. (on text... it works fine on squares and circles)

Thanks John, I'll try that too.

Thanks Eric. Maybe I should explain why I want to do this. I want to send a file to be printed. The file is done in Corel and the printer guy uses Illustrator. When I convert the file to Illy, I get pixelated beveled lettering. The sign will be 60" x 48". Should I send him some other sort of...

How?! (If you don't mind...):notworthy:

Prick! :ROFLMAO:

OK... I can get the text into Photoshop by cut and paste. I can bevel the snot out of it. How do I get it back into Illy? With a transparent background? Drag and drop? When I bring it back to Illy, it's just a badly pixelated, flat bitmap. :( When I do get it back into Illy properly, will...
