Depends on just which version of LXi you have. In 6.x and earlier the fonts were kept in a single Casmate file and this font library was loaded each time the program was run. They were not indivually addressable and were of no use whatsoever outside of the program. I have no idea if they...

Beginners at making signs or beginners at dealing with graphics software? Or, shudder, both? The difference betwixt a basic vinyl sign and any other flavor of vinyl sign is subjective. Again. Just what are you trying to learn? At what are you beginners? LXi 7.5, which is merely Flexi...

If the background of your image is white, or at least all the same color, then do Bitmap->Make Transparent... You can mess with the Tolerance setting which represents the deviation from the selected color quantified somehow. If there's holes in your bitmap and you want to cut them as well you...

Are you using the plotter's Auto Pre Feed function? If not, try enabling it. If so, what speed is it, normal or slow? Try slow. The actual length of the pre feed doesn't matter but the shorter it is, the more often the plotter will pause to pre feed, the longer it is the more loose media the...

Unless the thing was dropped onto a rock from a great height, it probably just needs a new cutting strip installed properly. That's not a repair, it's maintenance.

1. Select the object you want to mask 2. Effects->Powerclip->Place Inside Container 3. Select the object that is the mask This effectively masks the first object with the second. The main difference between this function in Corel and masking in Flexi is that in Corel you have no say in...

OK, assuming that you're using the standard upper left pointing arrow for a cursor... With this cursor the target is the single pixel at its point. This point cannot be moved off of the logical display. Your problem gives every indication of being that your logical display is somewhat larger...

Nonsense. It works just fine with XP. If the squad at Sign Warehouse told you any different then that merely is more evidence confirming what I already know; that there isn't one of them that knows their ass from a hot biscuit.

Something is strange. You can't move an object to a region that does not exist and objects are singularly lacking in inertia, you can't throw them. You can't move your mouse icon completely off of the display, at least one pixel must remain visible, thus you can't move an object completely off...

Two ways, this happens to me all the time... 1. Minimize the bar at the bottom of your screen, the one with the 'Start' button on it. Just grab the top of it, the cursor should change to the resize double headed vertical arrow, and drag the top of the bar to the bottom of your screen. The...

That's not a whole lot of information but... Since you report that the job shows 0% progress I can assume the following [if it says 'waiting', 'holding', anything but 0%, then these assumptions might not be warranted]... You've created a setup for this plotter in Production Manager...

Unfortunately the actual name of the .ttf file has no necessary relationship to the name of the font or fonts it might contain. People tend to name the file the same as the typeface inside but they don't have to. Mosey on over to http://www.letterheadfonts.com and download The Font Thing from...

Tekton, Technical, and I'm sure other names as well depending on whose it is. It's supposed to look like a casual round-tip speedball alphabet. Hence the initial blobs.

Thanks for the try. It turns out to be something called 'Design Medium', at least that's what it's called at Castcraft Software aka OPTIfont. That would appear to be the only place it's available in digital form. Would that it were available somewhere else just a taste more agile and less pricey.

I should know this one, I can come close but in this case close isn't sufficient. Can someone tell me just what font this might be?

There's just a bit more to it than that. You're correct about simply locating the blade within the triangle formed by the 2 legs of the first registration mark. But you have to be sure to select the type of registration mark, type 1 or type 2, depending on just how close the image is to the cut...

I have long wanted to build what, for me, would be the ultimate work table. I have an associate in the fabrication business and there's not much that we can't put together. To this end I'd like to solicit any ideas or synthesis of our basic conceptual design. The table top can be any size...

No. Chisled fonts are usually created by overlaying the two, and sometime more, iterations on top of each other. One is generally the base and the other is the highlight. Depending on what colors you might choose. Sometime the highlight lays on top of the base, sometimes the highlight is cut...

You probably know all about this but in case you don't... Are you running the printer on a TCP/IP port? If so try powering off the printer, unplug the power cord to the TCP/IP widget plugged into the printer and phycially unplug it from the printer. Reboot your computer and put the TCP/IP...

Some of the small pleasures in life are, for me, gleaned from gadgets that actually function. Small things with no downside. Around these parts that would be a set of four architech's paperweights. Leather bean bags, actually more like leather discus' [or would that be disci?], filled with...
