• I am stuck!

    I am trying to get this Nascar decal done so I can put it on my car tomorrow. I am going to my first Nascar race and I want to put a few Dale Earnhardt Jr # 8’s on my car. I have just spent about 2 hours trying to do it and I give up. I know it is simple but I am just learning Flexi Sign and have only begun 1 month ago.

    Here is the image:
    http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/ … d_id=91471

    I don’t know how to post the picture so there is the link. There are 2 number 8’s on the page. I just need the bottom one to the leaning to the left.

    Every time I go to cut it i don’t get the middle of the number inside. The real colors are red and white. Red the outline and white the inside. I want to just be able to cut the all the red together in one cut and overlay a full white cut on top. A full red cut and a full white cut. Unfortunately I don’t have the time time to guess anymore and really need to get this done asap. If someone could do that for me I would appreciate it! If you could also maybe tell me how you did it also that would be great. I am gratefull for any help I could get. I tried playing with the paths, grouping everything. changing the backrounds. welding. I felt I was getting close but could never get it right.

    I am so frustrated with this.

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry don’t use Flexi but I would imagine you just needed to puch out the larger inner circles from the white.

    Give the attached a try. I used Illustrator.

    I assume you are not putting on a white background.

    Good luck

    Hello;

    I downloaded the file and it didn’t work. I need all the red on the same layer and all the white on the same layer. When I went to cut the file you gave me it shows all the red and doesn’t show any of the white to cut.

    I just want to import the nascar image into Flexi Sign Family Pro version 7.5 r5 and click on the red and cut all the red in one cut and then click on the white and cut all the white parts in one cut and then overlay them on my car.

    Thanks for your help!

    Try this.. its all to do with it being broken down.. ie the centres of the letters didn’t move with the rest of the number.
    What i did was to move the white to one side combine it all together, and same with the red, combining it makes the centres hollow.. hope that makes sense.. flexi file are not uploadable here so did it in Ai, just import it..
