That should be fun. Perfecting is kind of a bitch.
You doing spot UV, or just overall?

Fool me once...

You are so full of shit. I never got a reply.

That was the ad. Nothing more to it. I don't know, reply to the guy, see what his deal is.

WTF?!?!

Quote from: Ear on September 01, 2016, 04:57:39 PMGlad to hear you are happy with work.

... but I call bullshit on the people thing. I think analog shoveler is probably a sweetheart. 

Shit... I wish that were true. You see, I am extremely motivated when I am pissed off. I try to stay like that all the time. It's not really very hard.

Oh, and Curry's right about the control palette. I forgot to mention that.

Quote from: Ear on September 01, 2016, 01:25:06 PMDamn I miss the daily DCS. You're good at explaining stuff.

Eh, you are, too. At least I think so.

Problem is, I have to remember back when I suffered through these little daily frustrations. I don't really use the software for Prepress as much as I used to. At least not on a daily routine. I'm building more shit than I am trouble-shooting.

I actually sat down and had to write a few scripts for a TV spot last night. Although I was too busy to attend the shoot today, I did get to see the uncut footage and it was really weird to see actors, local celebrities saying what I wrote. Kinda cool.

My new job is actually pretty fun. I am doing all kinds of shit I am totally uncomfortable with. Shooting video, writing scripts, managing sign construction and installations... the suck part is being nice to people. I'm not very good at it at all. Haha

I'm also doing some renderings for a t-shirt company, and doing portrait work after hours. It's getting there. Being unemployed for so long takes a while to get back in the swing.

Quote from: DigitalCrapShoveler on September 01, 2016, 10:16:03 AMIt's not a bug. In actuality, Adobe "fixed" the problem. You are assigning a stroke with a value of one point to a box set to 1" x 1" or whatever, BUT you are setting the stroke to center on line in the transform palette. Logic would say, because you are adding a stroke that the 1 x 1 box would need to be a half point larger. Try setting the stoke to "inside" and it will be fine.

Yeah, i know that is the way InDesign works, but up until now illy has not. I'm of the opinion that if i use the rectangle tool to create a 1 x 1 square and it comes out as such, i should be able to type .5 x .5 into the Transform dialog and expect the same behavior.
I am resizing the object, the stroke is an "add-on" that will vary in weight depending upon what kinda of effect i want. the stroke should not account for the over all size. If I choose to, i can expand the stroke later to have it included as an object.
I also like to be able to over print the stroke for a quick trap. This "fix" wasn't announced in the release notes, for me it's a big hassle.

I understand what you are saying, but really, it was more of a problem for me the way it "used to be." If I want to emulate how Illustrator was, I can do what Pedro suggested, OR I can do it in the transform palette. The way it is now, is much more customizable. So again, not really a bug, you just have to AGAIN, deal with Adobe changing something. Anyway, glad you got it "fixed". Nothing I hate more than getting used to something, and having to change my MO for an upgrade change.

Quote from: Possum on August 15, 2016, 03:56:57 PMEspecially with all the software we don't have, some jobs I do are just plain easier and faster in Quark by far. Hate to say it, but it's the difference in the way the two apps handle master pages, mostly.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Quark was the shizno back in the day. It still could be if InDesign wasn't so damned intuitive and stable.

Quote from: Possum on August 15, 2016, 03:28:08 PMI went from PageMaker 2.0 and Corel Draw1.0 to Quark 3 and Illustrator 3 when the business sold. Now the owner wants to change to InDesign, but since we have decades of old files in Quark, I'm not about to do a whole job over just to make a change in a file.

I do NOT blame you.

Quote from: pspdfppdfxhd on August 15, 2016, 03:09:22 PM yes, i used to like quark more than pacemaker, uh i mean ragemaker, uh i mean pagemaker at one point... so was not a quick indesign convert at all. But what I really want to know is who the hell ever had to deal with freehand? Never seen one of those files in my 20 years in this gig.

Depends on where you live and banged Prepress.

In California, it was Quark and Illustrator. In Oklahomo, it was PageMaker and Freehand. Don't ask me... I figured out a long time ago, people have a preference and it usually goes with the grain of the community using them.

Quote from: Possum on August 15, 2016, 09:32:13 AMNow you'll just have to stay on here to reminisce.

I've forgotten more than I care to admit. Dude, I work with is an old Freehand user. First day, we bitched about Adobe for an hour straight. It was JUST like old times.

It was everyones Freehand. I just knew how to use it.

sigh... the good old days of freehand

Oh shit, folks, we may have another Freehand fan!
