What about an exclamation point! Yeah..... that's the ticket.....

I save that step too. Copy from Corel and Paste into Flexi. No files. ( I can screw up just as easily by selecting the wrong file.)

No can do Marlene the sign has to be made as approved and also match the other signs I've made for the town. I'll cut a "Dutchman" patch and re-carve the lettering. Maybe a step by step of the repair process will make some good out of this. It's very difficult to patch HDU because it's so...

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't alter the sign...it's been approved by council as is. I "copy" what I want to cut from Corel and "paste" it into flexi. Saves time messing with files. (well...not this time) It just can't deal with fonts... you have to convert to curves first. I'm going...

Can't....already cut the grooves for the steel frame. I don't usually do it that way. I usually cut the frame grooves once the sign is finished. Figures.... BTW....this is just a rant.

It also did something odd to the W in Town and changed the weight of the font in the bottom line. "Berwick" and "Town Hall" are the exact same font...... it's not just kerning.

I forgot to convert my file to curves before I opened it in flexi and cut the mask for this sign. Flexi makes fonts weird when I open files with fonts in them. Being a sign maker, this happens fairly often. It made "Town Hall" thin and off centre. I hate when this happens!!! I can't believe I...

So who else got it besides Air Art girl and Rep (aren't they related anyway?) before we go trying to figure out how they're "infiltrating" our ranks?

It's fashionable to hate Papyrus.

Do the first one but with a sharp edged font for the 8? If this is a cut vinyl job you should cut and weed one before you give her a quote.

Yes..... that's my primary consern too. :Canada 2:

Why's that?

I love Comic Sans!

I think we have a winner! You could apply for an honorary Darwin award with that story.

We're screwed!

Actually.... they can. We import Mexican and Jamaican workers to work on the farms around here. The locals won't do it any more. If they can bring in the harvest, they can build a deck or fix a car. (I'm argueing with myself....) :doh:

On the contrary... the only thing left will be things that are productive. Like hoeing turnips.... if we don't outsource all our food production that is.....

I'm glad I can fall back on being skilled with my hands. They can't outsource fixing your car or building your deck.... or digging your ditch.....

Looks like they are running around $1.20 an hour.

Yep....that's what they did here too Marlene. Quick....ask some randon guy with three teeth what he felt!
