    All done with macros banner grommets and cut line, registration marks for plotting, find hidden shapes, create "my" crop marks, find all shapes that touch the currently selected shape, replace shapes with clones, detect intersects, quick scaling of vehicle photos, flatten empty layers, flatten...

  4. How do you dress at work? Uniforms?

    It's ok. This is actually the job I did in the military. Visual Information Craftsman aka graphic design. We had a large format printer, laminator, lot's of xacto's... Oh and occasionally used an M16. lol
  5. How to Find Car Dimensions

    Not a big fan the "vehicle templates" but probably would get you just as close as the wheelbase measurement. I would still insist on photos of the actual vehicle. The templates don't take into account the different body moldings available throughout the vehicle models. i.e. the templates tend to...

    Only Chuck Norris can wear flip flops and run with scissors
  7. How to Find Car Dimensions

    google is your friend. Maybe this is enough to get in the ballpark. Just scale the wheelbase and trust the rest to be close.
  8. How do you dress at work? Uniforms?

    Varies. I'm primarily the designer so not much outside work. Clean various color polos (different color for each day) w/co logo on left breast area, jeans w/shirt tucked and a wide leather belt for holding tools if need be. All production employees must wear closed toe shoes! I wear an all...
  9. Question Need to pick the brain of an illustrator guru.

    I can see why that would "bother" some. It comes with the occupation. On occasion I have to use illy so I'm trying to familiar myself with it as to not get so frustrated.
  10. Question Need to pick the brain of an illustrator guru.

    Thanks all. I have no intention of ever being an illy user for the simple fact that some of the most basic tasks/info you need you really have to dig for. Coreldraw's workspace is fully customizable to one's liking. If I wish to only see the selected shapes h/w I simply hold the alt key then...
  11. Question Need to pick the brain of an illustrator guru.

    Every time I try using illy I get frustrated. I thought maybe if I just ask questions as I need them. 1. how can I turn off the x and y info whereby just leaving the h/w? Or any other stuff I don't care to see on the workspace. 2. the eyedropper doesn't show the values of colors as you hover...
  12. Tiling in Versaworks

    Totally agree. Well, except the illy part. lol I make all the needed panels within corel then export each to the RIP as separate files

    Welcome. My stepson will be traveling from Hawaii to the Philippines to visit with his father next month. Unless the hurricane delays him.
  14. Need an opinions on this printer

    Not to single you out but why hasn't anyone else mentioned the cumbersome loading/unloading procedure I mentioned earlier. Have you no experience with other brands. The older HP models a real pia to switch media. This alone would have been a deal breaker had I had a say in the purchase...
  15. Discussion Why is this so common in most threads concerning costs........................??

    Just as I was about to add my 2 cents I decided it'd be cheaper to not comment.
  16. Need an opinions on this printer

    If it's anything like the 360 as far as loading unloading media, I hate it. pia imo. At least compared to Mimaki. As demonstrated here p.s HP has since adopted a different approach that looks promising.
  17. Question What's the point of translucent black?

    Whole window. We've also done the same double-strike print on clear that's full color for existing backlit white acrylic sign faces. One strike print will be too light when backlit. Haven't had the need for any seems just yet. All one piece.
  18. Need Help Ai scaling help

    Ditch ai and use coreldraw. No scaling necessary. No need for an artboard and either.
