Having hard time with this.

[Linda]

I am trying to make a decal that looks like the one in the picture attached. I'm not getting paid for this, doing it for my daughter in-law. After hours and hours of working on this, the snip it, shows where I"m at now. How would I get the bottom edge of the bottom shadow to line up nicely like in the picture? Is there a reason the bottom shadow of the k is squared off? Any tips, help would be greatly appreciated. I also had a terrible time when making the different size shadows that the insides of the a's r's etc. wouldn't move with the rest of the layer. I can't even begin to figure the steps I took to get to where I'm at now!! This decal will go on a tractor that my daughter in-law will be racing in 19 county fairs.

Linda, if you can post the file here someone will take a look and provide feedback.

Are you using SCAL2 or SCAL3?

[Linda]

I am using scal 3. Here is the file. I have many pages since I kept trying different ways of doing this. It won't let me upload. Says file is too large.

[Linda]

Ok, I delete two of the pages. I will try again! It still won't let me upload. There is nothing else I want to delete from the file. It is just two pages. One has the banner shape and the other is what I posted.

Save it as an SVG file and post.

[Linda]

Thanks, will try that.

I downloaded the SVG file, but I can't open it for some reason. It says the file is invalid. I also tried to open it with Safari and the file is blank. Not sure what's wrong with the file. Can anybody else open it with Inkscape or Illustrator?

[Linda]

Tried saving it again to see if that will help.

[Linda]

I can't open any of the ones I exported to svg in scal3 or inkscape. Not sure what I could have done wrong.

Cut and paste just the word into a new SCAL file and try exporting that. No shadows or anything, just the Park Acres.
