  1. remembering choices

    When I hit CLear, it puts the check mark back into the transform box. I can't get rid of both the line and the check mark
  2. remembering choices

    the stroke is set to 0.00, and if I clear the stroke and then re boot Flexi, it still comes up with the stroke line. It won't allow me to uncheck transform.
  3. remembering choices

    I once knew how to do this, but am apparently getting old enough to forget. WHen I draw a shape it has a line around it. I can go to FIll/Stroke editor and click on clear and it goes away. How do I get it to stay gone away? If I start a new file it remembers a font and a color from a previous...
  4. the mysterious black box

    flexi 10, windows 10, thunderbird. I copy paste into microsoft word as well as thunderbird and it does the same thing, so I don't think it to be a thunderbird issue. I don't know how to past a photo of it here though, but could email it to you next time it occurs.
  5. the mysterious black box

    There is nothing masked. This also is not consistent. Sometimes it happens with flexi files and sometimes with an image off the internet.
  6. the mysterious black box

    If I have an image on my flexi screen and do a copy/paste into an email, this balck rectangle is appearing across the very botton of the image. It didn't used to be that way, but now I can't figure out how to make it go away?
  7. Quick Size Question

    I've enjoyed the Rolco and Hastings for many years, and have not found suppliers that I deal with that carry either of these. For many years the size from France was the hit. Currently the sign suppliers have the Dux or 1Shot. I don't know if the Dux is made for Sepp Leaf or not, but they...
  8. Quick Size Question

    Gino, I don't agree with you. I frequently have outdoor gilding projects and the weather would prohibit a slower gilding time frame.
  9. Quick Size Question

    How do you compare 1 Shot quick size to the Dux size?
  10. Billboard Cover

    I've painted boards for many years and now need to do one of those digital printed covers. I don't know where to order, how long they last, or how to install one over a plywood sign with framework on the back side? Would I be better printing vinyl in 4x8 sections to apply on aluminum and install...
  11. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    I apprenticed to a man from Kansas City. He left there in 1952 and moved to LA. He was a native American raised on a reservation. Seems like they called letters Egyptions or Romans or casuals or scripts. They were formal or bold. I never heard the word font in a sign shop until the computers...

    Brad, thank you for your thoughtful response.
  13. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    that old sign painters gothic is very nice. Look at how strong the S is in that compared to the S in the letterhead font version. I'd like to have a font similar to that!
  14. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    I expect anyone that learned how to pick up a brush and letter without a pattern and worked in a commercial sign shop would know what an egyptian letter is. It has no serifs or thick and thin stroke values like a roman letter. Traditionally, it's pulled with one stroke and the terminals are...

    I've seen a couple, and had some, but sure can't remember their names.

    also, now that I have it looking as I want it again, how do I save that in my preference manager?
  17. Question changing Flexi tool bar size?

    Frank, thank you. That was the solution I was looking for.
  18. Question changing Flexi tool bar size?

    Sometimes I wish all the tool bars were just a bit smaller so I could get what I need on two rows instead of three on a smaller screen on my laptop. Anyone know a way to do this?
  19. Question Electro Pounce

    I bought the Electro Pounce in 1970 and still use it regularly. A young man I met wants to build one and I was remembering the one's from my early years when shops made their own. I don't remember if it was done with a neon transformer or a fluorescent ballast, just remember it came off an old...
  20. Question Electro Pounce

    When I was an apprentice there were a couple shops I visited and did a few jobs in that had electric perforators they made with neon transformers and rheostats. Does anyone remember more exacting details of how this was done?
