Yeah, I have a 100 macros for CorelDRAW. I'm more familiar with vbs coding than java. I'm toying around with using Copilot to write scripts. That way I can learn by editing and such.

Yes, illustrator. Think I got it worked out. Bounding box of text is different than if the text is outlined. So script to outline text first then do the rest. WeedLines.jsx // Check if there are any selected objects if (app.selection.length > 0) { // Group the selection first...

Ok, been working with Copilot for a few hours. Works great but cannot, for the life of me, get the height of my created rectangle to size height properly. Seems no matter what mod I or Copilot does to the calculation, either it ends with doing the opposite or stays the same.

I have a free script that I found and would like to modify the code. I messed around a bit but can't seem to get what I'm after. I'm more familiar with vbs. Any "scripters" here.

Not a user of illustrator but here's a list some free scripts I've collected

Most of our realtor signs 30"x24" hang from a "Yard Arm". Polymetal/ACM/Max Medal

I have a macro to do close to this. Creates the "box" with 1 vertical line & 1 horizontal. Then I just move the lines as to not go thru anything then click & drag one to the next area and before letting go hit the right mouse button to duplicate any.

I definitely agree with this. When I went through the "Graphics" course through the military back in '95, we spent 2 days on computers, touching only on MS Powerpoint and Adobe Illustrator. When I got to my duty assignment they didn't use Illustrator, they used Corel. I had no formal training, I...

I've used TeamViewer to do a little training. Basically converse over the phone and uses screen capture type of thing. Allows me to take control of your screen to show things but still allows you to control also. Just kind of take turns as needed. Sounds crazy unsecure but you have to really...

CorelDRAW X7 is our go to with a ton of macros. Used for plotting too. Corel Photopaint as it's easier to intergrade with draw. Also have Photoshop CS4 to flatten pdf's that neither Corel nor Illustrator can handle and no changes need to be made. Flexi for RIP only. Latest to version of...

Yes, it can be done. The only thing we stay away from is the black "textured" type.

I'd start with a Production Manager who would be willing to "do it all" if they were to get bogged down then hire an additional person to do production. Pretty much what I do. lol Lead Designer, Production Manager, Production , print & plot helper, etc

We never, ever, go straight to print with third party files. Especially if pdf Prepress marks are used (we prefer to leave all that business out altogether). 99.5% of the time the file given doesn't scale to the size they're requesting, they use raster logos when we have vector versions, items...

I'd try replacing the cmyk/rgb colors with a pantone equivalent. example

Actually, there's an app that can extract info just from a photograph of hard drives.

The video is especially funny to me as I was a Graphic Designer in the USAF. Wasn't my first job though. I retrained into "Visual Information" after serving 11yrs. 3yrs as an Air Cargo Specialist then retrained to F_111 Bomb/Nav Avionics then graphics.

Love it!

Same here :rock-n-roll:

The clear vinyl has adhesive so you just print your graphic reversed/mirrored and laminate as usual using a white laminate , you do laminate your prints, right? Exactly like making any other decal just laminated with white instead of clear.

I believe there are printers that can print directly to glass. With our Latex HP's we'll print a reverse to clear then laminate it with white. Wet apply to glass.
