I don't do digital printing or claim to know anything on the subject, but would it be possible to print the small picture in as high a resolution as you can and then scan it at full size or as big as your scanner might allow?

I draw a shape the length of the yardstick, select it, and hit Control and K. Then size the shape to thirty six inches and say to re proportion all and say go! Then you can delete the shape

Thank you very much, Bob. Is there a setting for the strength of the snap? I remember using that back in the Casmate day. It also seems that wherever I select on the object is where it snaps to, rather than being centered or an edge snapping to a guide line. Is there any adjustment for that?

I just went to the help file again and couldn't figure it out. It must be too simple for me to see. If I select points and hit the snap to point, nothing happens. If I do it the other way around, still nothing moves. I know there is a way to select a couple points and have them snap to a...

The deskew I use all the time. Say you bring in a scan and it was a bit out of alignment, you can use the deskew command and click on two points that you want to be the horizontal baseline and hit enter and the scan will be straight. I might take a digital photo and bring it into flexi and want...

I needed to re set the screen resolution on mine to a setting recommended by the monitor manufacturer. I also needed to download a new driver for the monitor so that I could achieve that setting.

I've been trying to learn how to work both the SNAP commands and also those for DISTRIBUTE. I suspect there is use for me there, but don't seem to find them intuitive, nor is the manual helpful there. ANyone use these that can tutor me briefly? Thanks

I never see any chat about the estimating program resident in Flexi. Does anyone ever use it? Has there been discussion about it that I've missed? Is there any training for using it? How would you compare it with other estimating programs, like EstiMate?

When I have a large piece of sandblast resist to cut, sometimes I send it to the cutter in panels so that long passes of heavy material are not making long passes. What I'd like to do is to be able to select columns as well as the panels and have the end results be ready to weed and apply with...

when you hit the icon to outline, somewhere there appears a node that can be grabbed and dragged to the desired outline width. How do you determine where this happens? I feel at the mercy of the program.

I usually change the white to a light grey so I can see it.

I don't know of anything that will open a Corel file but Corel.

I don't know about "die cutting" which I thought was accomplished with a die that was stamped on a material creating the cut??? The Graphtecs that we have do not cut into a strip, but over a groove in the strip, as does the pounce tool. What is the difference between what you're doing and...

Thanks for the clarity, guys. Fred once mentioned Font Expert and not wanting to pester him with my needs and querries, I got it and it never helped. Now I see that I got the wrong one!

I usually save my file as a Flexi file. Then I open it in another window and draw a box around it leaving a comfortable margin, and click on the X on the end of the color chart to make it clear. Then I select all and convert it to paths, and reduce it proportionally to around five inches tall...

Mike, I don't have a digital printer to set up for a profile. I want to print on transparency film from an HP Deskjet. I's still not dialing this one in yet.

Mike, Could you please slow it down a bit more for me. Is this the Advanced button in Fill/Stroke Editor? I don't see anything there for Line Frequency. When I go to Color Spec's, I don't see anything there about line frequency either. I appreciate the help.

What about when you want the shade tones to be in a dot pattern? Is there a way to adjust the size and density of the dots?

Apart from the pricing issue, I think I'd put a piece of paper or tracing paper over it and with a dark felt pen I'd re draw it and scan it and vectorize it and do whatever clean up is needed. I would not work straight from the poor jpeg.

Sorry folks, but I screwed up my question and might have wasted everyones time. In Flexi, I go to OPEN, right click on a file and then select MOVE TO. This is where I want to establish my choice of drive and folder to open to.
