  5. Autocad to Omega?

    I know first hand that if you're going to import into Corel Draw from AutoCAD that you'll want to do that as a DXF file as well. Lines should be closed Plines with a line thickness set at 0. Line color should be white/black default of 0. Minimize the number of "grips" (nodes) after you open the...

  7. I Hate It! I Hate Ai!!!

    You ought to try AutoCAD if you think AI is bad, the learning curve on AutoCAD looks like Mount Everest. Like many utility programs, there are many uses for AI and there are many books written about the program. As a rule, user manuals generally only describe the tool, it's function and how...

  10. Rare problem with combining

    Unfortunately, Corel hasn't figured out how to create a vector path without inputting huge amounts of control points. Convert any font to an object and you'll see what I mean. Adobe has fewer problems, I've been testing the Adobe Creative Suite and am reasonably happy. The best program to...
  11. Rare problem with combining

    one more thing . . . turn on your status bar (You can also switch between hiding and displaying the status bar by clicking Window Toolbars Status bar. (c) 2002 Corel Corporation. All rights reserved.) when you select a group of items with a selection box, the number of selected items is...
  12. Rare problem with combining

    Okay, Here's my technical answer: It's a PITA! (Pain in the ass) Convert just about anything to a curve and you begin your problems. Add a contour or an outline and the problem gets bigger. Three outlines and a weld and the instability factor kicks in and whoosh . . . everything you've done...

    If I ever get out of the sign biz, look for me in Gibsonton, FL in Februarys. I'll be the guy with the Black Derby hat and the cane guessing people's weight. This is a project I'd like to take on some day.

  18. How Long Have You Been a Signmaker?

    Started at a SAR back in '97 weeding and bleeding. Been carving by hand with graph paper and carbon paper as a hobby since '84 but not often enough to be considered a professional. Two guilded jobs and still learning hand lettering. Got a big helping hand a few years back and work out of the...
