Welcome! Ugly signs humor me

The quirk with Corel Draw is that if you transform the rectangle (stretch it afterit's in position) the corners won't round proportionately. To fix this problem: 1. Draw a rectangle and stretch it into the position and size you want. 2. Turn on "snap to objects" (ctrl+J, workplace, snap to...

I have a feeling there are a lot of nice looking signs in Newport, NH!

Sweet work Stevo! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say "We'd love to see more of your stuff!" For those that don't know, Stevo is a member of another popular sign forum (I'm just a lurker there) where he has posted a nice a step-by-step on adding dimension to otherwise flat graphics. His...

Great effect . . . Mike Lavalle might want to watch out!

Glad to have you here CB

Nice work Chris

Welcome Beck! Northern Maine here . . . soon to be back in Southern Maine (Old Orchard Beach area)

There is SOOOOOO much to read here. I stay on top of the vinyl stuff quite a bit but I still have a lot to read myself and I've been around a while , , , take your time, settle in.

Welcome Ken! You'll find this to be a wonderful community.

Welcome Charlotte!

I should have waited to open this one . . . I knew it, I knew it, I knew it . . . . now there's milk all over the keyboard and up my nose. Golly geee, thanks Fred.

I'll remember that for future designs, I always wondered if they would compliment each other.

Again Fred, YOU DA MAN! I've searched for a while for this one and knew you would have the answer, I just hate asking before doing a little research on my own. Many thanks!

:design: Not my design (if you can call it that)! I've drawn a blank on this one but I beleive it's a Gerber supplied font because of where the customer had the work done previously. The closest I can come up with is Brush Script but the brush terminations are rounded where the terminations in...

Good point! Although I completely agree with Fred and feel that for the most part the free fonts are a complete waste of time, there are a select few that do get some use around my little shop on a regular basis. The thing to remember is that a good portion of these "free" fonts are actually...

Welcome!

Welcome, I think we'll all be ears when you have something to say about airbrushing!

I have Corel Draw 8, 10 & 11 but stick with CD10 with SP1 & 2 . . . rock solid. CD 11 shuts down in the middle of just about anything you try to do . . . sloppy, unstable program with no improvement over 10. Not to mention that 11 adds a gazillion nodes when you convert outlines or contours...

CoCut is a decent plug-in if you can't figure out how to cut from corel but it wasn't for me. CoCut did nothing that I couldn't already do on my own except that it may have saved a little time. The time it saved was negligable for me so I chose not to use it any longer. Set your plotter as...
