It does not work with Corel 9 either. For me, which all that matters. Whether or not it works for someone else is not particularly interesting. In an effort to pre-empt useless questions, yes it's installed properly, yes Corel is installed properly, both 9 an X3, singley and together. Yes VBA...

While there are some things that Flexi does extremely well, your above four step exercise is easier done in Corel. With the possible exception of the outline, and that would depend on the exact context. Resizing is resizing in either package and only only recently does Flexi support...

Twaddle. A product that does exactly what it's supposed to do and never fails is hardly junk and needs no support. Whereas a product that is so poorly executed that it requires more than token support is highly suspect as being junk. This statement is one of those things that sounds profound and...

It's not a problem that will be fixed any time soon. The solution is to avoid the problem situation entirely and use your own registration marks in conjunction with the Graphtec's ARMS system. The method, as previously explained, works flawlessly.

Just convert all text to outlines to eliminate any and all font file conflicts. A PDF is usually the optimum choice, but Flexi doesn't publish PDFs to my knowledge. Failing that, an EPS file would be the next choice. These two formats preserve vectors as vectors, a Good Thing. Way down there...

No, I don't have a counter. But were I in possession of one, those certainly would be my sentiments. As a generaly rule, don't let anyone choose anything or have any choice at all in anything that you possibly can avoid letting them have. Things run much smoother both for you and for them and...

On a bitmap there is no outline to capture. None, nada, zip, zero. Some talk about 'converting' a bitmmap to a vector object, that is mis-use of the language. There is no way to 'convert' a bitmap to a vector object as you might 'convert' a jpg to a tif file. The information needed to construct...

No, I said it. It means nothing to me that it might work for someone else in other circumstances. It does mean that it's an odds on bet that it wasn't properly tested with even a modest spectrum of operational environments. The point is that, for me, it's completely non-functional. What it...

What he said, with a large "You gotta be kidding" tacked on to it. If they have straightened out their miserable contour cut mechanism and maybe added faded drop shadows and perhaps a civilized distortion envelope it might be worth considering. But release this appears to be a collection of...

That's it? You dismiss total non-function with a shrug and a platitude? Does the phrase 'Fitness of merchantability' ring any bells for you? ...irate clent: "You've mis-spelled my name and have the wrong phone number on this sign!" Me shrugging: "I didn't say it was perfect." ...sounds of...

. You are now... Twaddle. The world is rife with poorly engineered ill-tested software. Why should Graphtec be immune? I'll no doubt sleep better however, knowing that you're satisfied. Though I'd feel a whole hell of a lot better if you accepted that there are circumstances where your...

I attempted to use it with Corel, both 9 and 13, simply because it came with the machine, but it kept coming up with an error in the script. Graphtec alliwed as how this is not uncommon and is in the process of releasing a new version which is actually supposed to work. I use Flexi Pro anyway...

You're absolutely correct. I was thinking of something else that's sort of a clone of a clone that can trace a sketchy ancestry back to Helvetica, hence the '~='. The name of the thing eludes me at the moment but it has something to do with Switzerland.

The short answer is no. Even font files from different sources all labeled 'Helvetica' are not necessarily identical. 'Helvetica' is a style to be interpreted by each foundry rather than a rigid definition. That notwithstanding, in general Helvetica==Swiss~=Zurich. Close enough that you...

Could you expand on that some? I can't find anything in the manual except a line in the menu tree in the back that seems to mention 'perf'. What does this do to one's blade? One's cutting strip? Why cut twice? This would be a really handy feature if it doesn't eat hardware. Is it a stunt or a...

It's called 'Showcard Gothic' in my collection. It's been squeezed up a whole bunch. As if this butt-ugly alphabet needs any help looking bad.

I've only encountered 5100's en passant and I have a 7000 which I wouldn't trade for 2 of anything else so understand my prejudices when I say go for the 7000. There, it's settled.

It comes with the blade in a little box, assuming it ships like a Graphtec. You have to install the blade in the holder and adjust the blade height. It's really no big deal and, after you do it a couple of times, you can do it in your sleep. Again, assuming that this is a Graphtec wearing...

I should think that in the era before the proliferation of cell phones that the parenthetical area code was the preferred form. In those days the area code merely was a bit of auxilliary information. (666)666-6666 was appropriate then. Now that most every being on the planet is wired for...

That works OK but the problem with the new fillet/chamfer/whatever tool is that you can't mess around with it visually, you have to do it metrically by specifiying a size. If the size you chose isn't what you want, you have to undo the thing with the undo tool. Much neater to be able to grab a...
