Hi Sabrina, I know this is not the answer to your quetion, but if you create the sign half size, as in 12x90 and then add the font you want, then resize to 24x180 it may work, give it a go. I hope I have been of some help, Tiff |

Try converting your font to outlines by right clicking on it and hitting the Outlines button, then try resizing it. It won't be editable as font anymore, instead it will be vectored normally. Then you can scale to whatever size to desire |

you don't really flatten in AI you group. I know, group means something different in PS but in AI it will group all the shapes and text together so you can resize them all at the same time. hold ctrl+a and then got to object>group. VIOLA |
