Easy way to get them back????

My hard drive crashed. Managed to save all my outside files but Aspire went bye bye. I downloaded Aspire 11.5 with no problems but how do I get all my Design and Make files back? The Clipart downloaded ok.

Re: 2021 User Group Meeting - San Diego

Finally got a live person at the hotel. Tried to roll the reservations to next year but they wouldn't do it that far out. Had no idea what a Vectric was. Stephanie will have to let us know when we can rebook.

Re: 2021 User Group Meeting - San Diego

I called the hotel and nobody knew what I was even talking about. Said to call back later in the week. Somebody might know something then. Wouldn't change reservations to the new dates at the same rate, either. Went to cancel our flights on Delta and found out they were only giving E-credits, and fo...

Re: Different Language Keyboard

OK. I got the text from a translator site. Then copied it to the text box in Aspire. Had to scroll thru all the fonts - some worked /most didn't - to find one that looked the part. Now to see if it'll cut it.

Different Language Keyboard

I know there has to be a way. I have a normal Qwerty USA keyboard -- but need to type in a couple different languages - ie Polish and Ukrainian. I can get the foreign keyboards on line, but how do I get the text to print in Aspire to cut in that language?

Re: 2020 User Group Meeting - San Diego

The hotel doesn't want to lose the business so they are biased. The big question is whether it'll be safe to fly, since most of us will have to travel in some way and are "above the average age" of the general population and most at risk. Plus you must have concerns coming from the UK too. I've had ...

Re: 2020 User Group Meeting - San Diego

When will a decision be made if the meetings will be delayed or even cancelled? We're already seeing events cancelled up to the end of August so far here in the USA. Airlines don't have a clue what they're even doing.

Re: We’re coming to DENVER! Save the date & book your place!

Got to talk to the Avid CNC rep (I got one) and meet Doug Pinney and Ron Reed, Neat! Always great to see Todd and Michael Tyler. Nice to see finished things from Gary Johnson, BUT ..... would have been better to see how they were created and painted, not just say paint this. Scott Thompson offered t...

Fish Scene

Had a custom order

Robbed from the deer mantel scene, Under the Sear #1, and Vectric clipart.

Had a 5/4 glued up red oak panel about 16 x 14.

No Stain -- just semi gloss poly

Re: WE’RE COMING TO DENVER! SAVE THE DATE & BOOK YOUR PLACE!

Just got off the phone with the hotel -- they said the best they could do was Thurs and Fri nite at $189 and Sat at the regular rate. Better than a broken bit or a loose clamp on a big cut. I wouldn't wait much longer to book if you want to stay there.

Re: WE’RE COMING TO DENVER! SAVE THE DATE & BOOK YOUR PLACE!

Thanx Steph, I've contacted the reservation center, Hilton reservations, and a couple other places. Have been told there were vacancies for Sat but not Thurs and Fri, Thurs and Fri but not Sat, Fri and Sat but not Thurs, and any other combination you can think of. Just not Thurs, Fri, and Sat -- eve...

Re: WE’RE COMING TO DENVER! SAVE THE DATE & BOOK YOUR PLACE!

Vectric needs to pull some strings to get more accommodations. Sold out of Vectric rooms and hotel says no vacancy even at regular rates. Over 10 months in advance, and no rooms. Denver must be a popular place in October.

Re: page distort

Think I found it on an older Vectric tutorial page. And it was Alice in Wonderland
