A cad-cut trick I just learned
inkman996:
The black line around the text is the weed border, the red horizontal lines are the horizontal weed lines. You can turn on off whenever needed.
Frog:
Good stuff!
Your "job size" seems the same as my manually created box, I guess.
However, my layouts are often not as neat as yours. I'm not sure that the automatic stuff would be so applicable.
I lay out on a 14" wide page to compensate for the margins, and I send Tom this in CoreDRAW

I see whats going on frog. You are trying to utilize every inch of film space, by doing that it will not place horizontal or vertical weed lines unless it is clear end to end. In our case here we sacrifice material for speed, we lay everything out nice and neat allow the software to place weed lines and go. It looks like your best bet is to select and object while holding the shift key double click the rectangle tool this will create a perfect square around the object. If nothing selected it will create a rectangle matching the page size.

Well, not every inch, but since I'm selling the final product transferred to the shirt, and not selling "Transfers" per se, that need to look neat and evenly sized, I couldn't imagine not using the material available. Unless it made layout or weeding difficult, and it looks like I have that licked now.
As you know, five or even ten yards can go quicker than you think, and there is little to match the feeling when you are just a few inches short!
Okay everybody, I know what's coming, and I and NBC have it covered

Not necessarily.
I have a macro that will add weed borders and/or grids around anything you want.....doesn't need to be all straight and even.
Andy's 'free-spirit' layout would be just fine, I think.
I'm not near my computer now but if I get a chance in the morning, I'll send you guys a link.
