  1. Upgraded to Lion OS - Am I screwed?

    Without even thinking I upgraded to Lion. Adobe CS2 is no longer compatible so I upgraded to CS5, but still Graphtec hasn't made Lion compatible plug-ins. Anything I can do while retaining Lion? ** I have discovered that they are working on a compatible plug-in that will release mid November **
  2. Cutting Paper on Graphtec

    Does anyone know if I can cut paper on my Graphtec. I applied transfer tape to the back of my paper so that it would stay in one piece before it is weeded, but it still tears up. I haven't played around with the settings too much... does anyone know if it's possible?

  9. When "Ungroup" Doesn't Work?

    I should probably know how to do this, but I don't, so I am asking a huge favor. My customer sent me this Adobe Illustrator file that I need to make some minor changes to, but everything was grouped together. I went to Object>Ungroup and clicked it, but nothing changed. I went back to Ungroup...

  11. My Company Logo

    I have had the hardest time coming up with a logo for myself. I really wish I had gone with a different company name but that's another story. I wanted something clean and simple... I've worked on this design for about 30 minutes, so I'm sure it could still use a lot of tweaking. In the past I...

  17. More Illustrator Help :P

    Okay, I am trying to make the letters in this word look like they overlap, so i should see the full outline of the letter "b" but I won't see the full outline of the letter "r" because it should appear that part of the "b" is covering it up. I do not want to completely merge the text (img 2)...

    Recently I have made a few designs where I warped text (that I had already turned into outlines) into an arch or other shapes. Such as the first attached picture. But the outlines/cut-lines remain unwarped. How do I make outlines/cut-lines to match the warped text? Thaaanks!

    I have a customer who just bought a church and needs the old service times removed from the windows and replaced with the new service times.
