Many times the computer in the showroom area is the one we end up with the layout for a plaque. We simply save the job there, then open our network on our engraving computer and move the saved job to that computer and we're ready to engrave.</p> <p>Yesterday I was looking for a border and ended up in Words clipart. I found a bunch of border designs that I didn't have, and ended up taking 6 of them into corel, which is on my desk computer. I then cut & pasted them in to my Xenetech program. Yesterday afternoon I had two jobs to do and both ended up being perfect layouts to use the new border designs. So I just opened the network window on my engraving computer, opened my desk computer files and dragged all the border designs to the xlg file on my engraving computer. And they were ready to go. </p> <p>No more copying to disks, and going back & forth between computers. What is on one, is on all.</p> <p>If you haven't networked your computers, it is a real timesaver.</p> <p>Cindy M</p><hr /><a name="a2087_8"></a><p><b>From: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.8">#8</a>]<br /> 25 Oct 2005<br /><b>To: Cindy (CINDYM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.7">#7</a>] 25 Oct 2005</p> <p>Cindy,</p> <p>How did you take these borders into Corel? I tried to import them but could not find a filter that would work.<br /> I agree networking the computers is a must. Now if only could get Peachtree and Corel to work in the house I could work at night when I can't get to sleep without having to get dressed and walk out to the shop.</p> <hr /><a name="a2087_9"></a><p><b>From: Cindy (CINDYM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.9">#9</a>]<br /> 25 Oct 2005<br /><b>To: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.8">#8</a>] 25 Oct 2005</p> <p>I simply decide what artwork I want from Corel or Corel on-line clip art and click on the box to select it. Then I download the choices. Once my choices are downloaded, they go into my clip art manager file. </p> <p>I open Corel, and then go back to the clip art manager files and put the mouse cursor over the art I want. Holding down the left side of my mouse, I then slide the art over to my corel page. Or you can right click on the artwork, copy, and then paste the art into Corel.</p> <p>Once the art is on the Corel page, I go up and ungroup it if that is possible (some will and some won't) and then take out whatever I don't want, make any changes and then regroup it. I then go to Edit, select copy and then go to my Xenetech screen and go to Edit and select paste. I choose a name for the clip art and then OK and there's my art on the Xenetech screen, ready to engrave.</p> <p>Sometimes nothing is shown the first time after you name the artwork in Xenetech, but if you click on the D for cleanup, the art will show.</p> <p>Hope this works for you -<br /> Cindy</p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2087.1">1-6</a>  7-9</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
