    This is an awesome CAD design! How did you get the perspective on "Volunteer" to appear three dimensional?

    The shadowing on the axes and the fire hydrant add a really nice touch. Great work!

    Thanks! I used an image I had and attempted to vectorize it but didn't have much luck with that. Between the vector and tracing it, I guess I got lucky! Over 6 hours of cad time lucky.

    Wow. The highlights on the hydrant and the axes really make it pop. Very nice detail.

    Thanks! If anyone wants the dxf let me know. Hate to go to the work for one sign and really don't think I'll be cutting a second one.
