beaurocratic efficiency, even in death.

i think it was ~$4k, but i'm not sure if they sell standalone software anymore as all i see are subscription plans now. i only upgrade to the 3D enabled software when i occasionally have a job that requires it, but that was another $100/mo

not me, but hopefully there's a few more quotes looking to be fulfilled!

GOT IT! "show intersecting contours" button on the toolbar. idk where it was before, but I reset toolbars to default and it jumped right out at me! shame that SAI couldn't just simply say that this thing existed in their software.

aye that's the path i've been searching in the index/search, but it only shows up when i'm overlapping objects, no matter if single or different layers. i'm currently just going through every menu item and checking/unchecking settings at the moment.

already tried asking Sai, and despite me purchasing version 6 of Enroute a year ago ....they simply autoreplied with "we no longer support your version, please upgrade to our $150/month subscription software service" ugh. needless to say, I will be exploring my options when it comes time to...

its all in the roll. same as painting a wall. if you just try to breeze-thru and wet everything, you'll see the lines where you rolled but I will usually try to wet my whole ~4'x8' section with an even roll, and then go back over it all over again with a clean or semi-coated roller to blend...

not a fan of sheet laminating perforated vinyl, but if you do I highly recommend an optically clear overlaminate. sheet lam adds foginess to the "view-through" and typically results in imperfect appearance on the image-side, due to the airgap between surface and the clear lam through the perf...

we've been fortunate in the past because police love our industrial park for their breaks. couple of times have come across guys in our lot loading steel scrap into their pickup truck, and knowing that we're never working after sundown with all the lights off, and pop-in to inquire. both times...

i used to make my own cleaning/flushing solution and reload my carts with a syringe. saved a ton of $$$ throughout the years. costs something like $100 for two gallons (or 34 cleaning carts-worth)... sooo, 1/10th the cost? if you're running the ss21 solvent inkset, I believe the formula is...

seems like a job for a student at your local school of architecture. they handbuild these things out of cardstock & popsicle sticks all the time for assignments, I'm sure they'd love to get paid for one.

sh*t rolls downhill. the client will be to blame in the eyes of the inspector/lawyer, and they'll try to take it out on you for the damages they incur. that being said, I've only ever heard of people getting into trouble with ADA signage for hiding fake/"funny" phrases in the braille, but the...

if you can fit the whole design into a single plot, I'd save the extra time to re-level&apply individual pieces. just cut as one & apply as a full masked sheet.

specs are lacking. dimensions & materials used & qty & pickup/deliver/install info would be a good starting point. tamper proof screws are also pretty expensive as well. even without all the details, I'm thinking you're pretty low.

youtube vids are a great resource. this guy walks you through his process pretty well. biggest concern during replacement is making sure you keep ink from dripping into electrical components, as those ribbon cables LOVE channeling a drop of ink into an expensive part. i have, however...

there's "ultra smooth" versions of corrugated plastic panels avail for only $2-3 more per sheet through Grimco. https://cdn.grimco.com/Pdf/Home/Viewer?file=https://cdn.grimco.com/product/InteproCorrugatedPlasticPanelsUltrasmooth/datasheet/InteProUltraSmoothSellSheet.pdf

in the supplier's defense: a sticker will accumulate dirt, by nature of the product. ship them an edge-sealer pen, as part of the quote, and be done with it.

we just make our own by sandwiching the acrylic between two 1"x.5" aluminum angles

i use three tabs of red-lined acrylic tape: first, band your takeup roll with masking tape, Left Middle & Right. then, add tabs of the dbl sided tape to the bands then, tack your backing to this, making sure to get a full rotation or two of spooling the backing onto the core (so that it...

its a decal that's twice the size of a yard sign, printed on a more rigid substrate, and simply folded over the yard stakes like a cheap pricetag at a yard sale or a baggage sticker at the airport. cuts down on space required to transport hundreds of them, and less fill in the trashheap, ...but...
