Don't forget... ya need GOOD mag molds?  Talk to @wayner - got a number of models and can do others if ya got a real mag to work with.  Molded as if they's LOADED (seriously,, WHO carries an empty mag anyway?@!)... I own a number of his already - Glock, Springfield, Sig, Bersa, Ruger, S/W... ask him what all he got over there!

:cheers: Welcome!  That pretty simple to follow?  I want to try to git sum stuff "out there" for the boys 'n' girls who know some stuff, but want to know more stuff.

Internets is INUNDATED with videos, "classes", how-to's, that all show how to trace around a gun (real or otherwise).  But I AM going to make that one soon... where I trace around my hand just like when I was four ... ;) 

Also been trying out a drafting program lately.. wonder if it might be faster than PS or IL.  Reason being, I have a caliper that measures in inches and millimeters, but not in pixels ...

Been using AutoCAD for years so it's just easier for me to work with...draw what I want, line-wise (solid, dashed, phantom, etc), then print/plot it out to full-scale on paper or pdf. Too bad the software is so expensive (at least from AutoDesk)...it seems the tech marketing game is to sell you something "broke" now so's they can sell you the "fix" in six months :huh:

Well, we are in the holster pattern thread :whistle: I got it covered within these walls - I'm good ta go.  Just thought maybe if some you boys 'n' gals was using PS or IL, might want a copy of this digital graph paper I use.  No matter... it's very basic (but useful) stuff that anybody could do (and maybe already did).

 

JLS, I just finished a training class on using Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.  If you would be willing to share the graph paper still I would certainly appreciate it.  I thought that Illustrator might be useful for designing holsters, and other leather items.

Yep, you can  have this template. It's quite simple to use, simple to make in fact... I would hope that if somebody CHARGED YOU for a class that they taught you AT LEAST this!  I don't know how long or how many 'lessons' you did, but I've never had any "training" and I can do this, so I assume anybody can ;)

Now, if somebody can just explain ta me why .. if you want to rotate a feature, you use the 'edit' menu, but to rotate the whole drawing you use the "image' menu .... :ranting2:

!#%$!!@#! Software "upgrades"!

Everything seems to work just as it did before, but now the "button" you need to click looks different and is in a different spot. What was the point of that.. try to irritate the customer into using some OTHER software?@!

I assure you.. making regular changes to your $3-digit software is NOT an incentive to get me to buy your $4-digit software.

The stuff I learned was specifically geared toward the creation of logos, advertising materials and business cards.  I understand the frustration with the various commands and how they work.  It does not always seem intuitive.

I just upgraded or updated or whatever .. some other software for designing - not PS.  That button that looked like that in the top right of the screen now does exactly teh same thing it did before, but the button looks different and its in the top left of the screen.  You have to wonder what the point was ...

It'll be fine... just a bit of a time killer
