Just pumped gas at $2.70 and it's quite fine with me lol

Being good at graphic design, one of you should make this in Solid Works, Fusion 360, or whatever gets me a DXL file

 

Diesel still at $4.25 though

 

Make what

You didn't attach a file

 

Here's your file, it's embedded

 

damn, I'm just happy to see 87 finally falling below $4 around here. Still paying north of 4 and a quarter for 91 but it's better than the $6+ it hit over summer

Of course on our road trip last week gas was still around $6 at all the stations off the main highway to/from though.

 

I have only ever heard of those programs I've never even looked at them lol.

I mean I can make a design file in any Adobe program but 3D CAD design is a whole different ballgame

 

I got a good one for you. Wet spot in extra cab behind drivers seat. Never heard of such a thing

 

in the headliner? sides?

 

Rear vent window fully latched? Gasket?

Driver door gasket good?

 

My stuff is gonna be 2D

I'll figure out relief cuts and such later for when I need to bend stuff

Setup ain't even here yet and I've spent more money on things I didn't know I'd want/need already

 

Perfect chance to learn your software of choice

 

It's Hawaii, just put a big enough lift until your passed the rain clouds

 

I wasn't sure what a DXL file was but I guess they are compatible will Illustrator

I really don't have much experience with drawing in Illustrator though, if you were to draw out a design on paper or something I could work with that as something to trace with to make a digital file for those programs

 

brand new gasket on door, ceiling is dry. Going to go check the window gasket

 

I’m trying bro

 

I watched a video where someone took an image (whether jpeg, jpg, png, etc) and added said image to trace over.

Thought it was super cool and stupid convenient vs trying to freehand.

 

You don't have a sunroof do you?

 

yeah that's the way to do it unless you're really good at using the tools in Illustrator to do it freehand on the computer

Trace it in Illustrator and save it out as a vector file, done

I consider myself proficient with Photoshop but when it comes to Illustrator/InDesign the only thing I really have in my favor is that a lot of the commands are the same. That makes it a lot easier to learn but I use them so rarely compared to PS that I don't ever retain much lol.

but tracing to a vector file is pretty simple/straightforward

 

if the gods were so gracious. I wish but no I don’t. First Inspection nets nothing, the window gasket seems fine on the hatch. I noticed when I was putting in my ultra gauge today
