centerline technique quandary

[robbie5424]

I am a 74 year sign artist in Baldwinsville, NY, and have had a huge issue trying to do a project. I need to produce centerlines in handwritten lettering. I have spent more than 50 hours trying to invent some way I can do a centerline in this font that has variable strokes. I have tried Illustrator, Resizer, Coreldraw, Photoshop and others, all of which were tedious. The result I am looking for is a clean vector inline, without the squigly intersections that would need extensive editing. You are the smartest I have seen with your centerline of the 2 whales. Can you offer me a solution or point me in the right direction? Here is one of the designs needing centerline, Please let me know as soon as it's convenient.

No offense, Rob, but what's the point of spamming your post with a hundred of random 3rd party logos?
On the other hand, it is not clear at all which font you are even talking about…

Consider me slightly puzzled…

Welcome to the forums @robbie5424

I agree with loukash here in that I cannot understand what you want to do, what you want to do it to, or why you have posted lots of distinctly different images.

If you can give more details about what you want to do then we should be able to help but please just give one or two examples which show the specific thing you are wanting to do.

For instance, what do you mean by a “centreline”, what’s a “clean vector inline”, and what are “squiggly intersections”?

And, possibly more importantly, what does “You are the smartest I have seen with your centerline of the 2 whales.” mean?
