It does but sometimes it would seem that they're not packing exactly the same name. That means you get that annoying dialog about missing fonts when you make to open a file created with something that used the old CASFonts. In these cases you have to find the equivalent on the supplied list. If...

True, but it's assumed that any participant knows enough to be able to ask a good question. There's a certain level of knowledge and familiarity with the nomenclature that must be in possession of any participant. Without it actual communication is not possible. The noble art of sign writing...

I do this all the time, it's not a big deal. It's one of those things that's far more difficult to explain than it is to do. The first thing to wrap your head around is that when you're doing it manually you must create and position your own registration marks. You must not use a path known...

Resist the temptation to implement this annoyance. It can only be useful to any reader one time, the first time it encounters some term with which it's not familiar. From then on it's useless and annoying. even if you don't cursor on top of one of these links, the change in...

You need to set the Condition Priority in the plotter's Background settings to 'Manual'. This will cause the plotter to ignore any condition settings see via software. Usually a Good Thing.

Yes, sort of. You can do Edit->Preferences->General and set the Selection Preferences to the number of pixels you want to use as the proximity for recognition of a snap to feature. The larger the number, the farther away you can be from the actual feature and have it be recognized as fodder for...

How, exactly, did you sent the cut job to the plotter? Did you send it through Flexi via the Cut/Plot dialog or did you merely send the cut job that was, or should have been, created in Production Manager when you originally sent the whole thing through the Rip and Print?

Stop YELLING and learn to use a keyboard like a civilized being. While this problem might be offset, the OP said that it seems to be getting worse over time. Mis-setting the offset won't get worse, it is what it is. If this is the case, that it's getting worse, then it's probably not the...

You're confused. "Snap" is a characteristic, actually a set of characteristics, that can be turned on and off and effect cursor movement and only cursor movement. Thus selecting some points and the selecting "Snap To Point" does nothing since snap only effects cursor movement. More specifically...

The thinner laminate backing won't peel off like the 70# vinyl backing does. You have to help it along and this can take more that the standard issue of two hands. You can bias things in your favor by rolling up the laminate backwards, laminate out, backing in, that you set into the Big...

Bad advice. If your release the contour cut, it's no longer a contour cut. From the top... You have an image that includes a path known to Flexi as a contour path. You can create the contour path via either the Effects->Contour Cut or creating your own path, select it, and then...

I've thought on this for some time and have come to the conclusion that no one is doing themselves a service by playing. For me typefaces exist on a continuum, from those to which I just naturally gravitate to those which I wouldn't use at gunpoint. And a whole hell of a lot of faces in between...

The rendering intent is not the problem. In fact 'Spot' is a far better choice of rendering intent for gradients than any of the others. Neither does if have to do with any sort of software bug. Unless you want to call poorly engineered software a bug. It has to do with the algorithm you've...

Method 1: You add a contour object to the image via either Effects->Contour or Arrange->Contour. Flexi adds registration marks to the print and creates a pair of jobs, one to print and one to cut. You send the cut job and the software asks you to position the blade over the first mark, set the...

It has nothing to do with the length of your USB cable. The micro-cephalics at Sign Warehouse told you this because it was a convenient, for them, thing to tell you. How, exactly, are you auto-registering your prints? There's at least three major approaches to auto-registration with the...

The cutting strip you can protect by covering it with a strip or two of heavier vinyl. But cutting through the backing is going to eat your blade[s]. Paper is abrasive as all hell and dragging that tiny cutting area through a few feet of paper is going to dull it severely. I's one of those...

Different problem. Cutting individual vs. multiple colors at one time is controlled by various settings in the Cut and Plot dialog, not with the design itself.

Not quite. Since 48" wide banners traditionally have a finished width of 46", printing anything wider than 46" roughly centered on 48" media will do just fine.

Why would you do that when you could have selected 'Contour' instead of 'Outline' and Flexi would have done it for you in a single keystroke?

Interesting but apparently not particularly crippling. While windows\_default may not function, windows\system32\cmd.exe, which is the command interpreter itself, works just fine. Nonetheless, it's an annoyance. Just how do you get rid of it?
