No problem with your question. The reason the 'why' is asked is because a better solution may be possible. That is what is great about this forum. By following these threads, you learn possibilities that you didn't even know existed. I learn new techniques almost daily. With a room full of Wizards, ...

I stand corrected. Since I am new, I just didn't understand. For my professional conferences they are always revenue generating events for the organizers/hosts and they will always expand the event as the revenue increases because more attendees means more revenue.

One feature that I figure comes in real handy is Increment & Save (CTRL+ALT+S). It increments the current file name by one and saves it, while keeping you in the editor. XYZ.crv becomes XYZ_1.crv. I use it when I feel I'm about to make a major error.... often.

We filled the Denver venue.... and it was great.

Very interesting technique.

In fact.... you only have to draw a 1/4 of it. Draw top left, mirror to top right, mirror top to bottom. Done.
