Michael Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I've been asked to make some bespoke laminate door signs to go on kids bedroom doors.The customer wants some odd shapes made.How do you make these shapes,in your software or draw on paper and scan in. This is a rough one I made yesterday out of scrap laminate just to show the customer. I scanned in the shape using the door signs in Gravo's catalogue,but needs a lotn of tidying up and node editing. What sort of price would you guys charge for something like this in a 1.5mm laminate, roughly 8" x 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 i love that shape when i get time i'm gonna make some wood backings in that shape someone'll have to provide me the template though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 It is a nice shape, but looks a little on the pi55 Go into point mode and use the square, oval, round etc tools overlap them to form shapes. then use your union tool to link them.

Michael Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Because it's scanned the vectorised lines are not clean and I need to edit the nodes to straighten them. My visual toolbox software doesn't have these functions, or at least I cant find them.I know the new software does have a weld function to join shapes but I cant afford £580 to upgrade at the moment.

Theone Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 hi just tried to upload file but says not supported. martins file just needs converting to wmf or ai file for visual toolbox to use it, i find visual toolbox likes wmf more than ai on certain logos anyway.the lines come out tidy in wmf. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin56 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just added Ai format, the site won't allow WMF. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I opened it in Illustrator 10 and saved it as ai.eps file.These normally work ok for me. No major problem though What visual toolbox software are you using Theone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
