Traffic sign design with Buchanan Computing

9 September 2015

SignPlot knows its plates

Version 3.25 helps you select correct sign and plate sizes and wording, even in Wales!

 Lots of enhancements to keep your interest whilst we are waiting for the new regulations.

In SignPlot we had expected to implement the few remaining requirements of the new TSRGD, but now this has been postponed to 2016, we have added lots of other enhancements instead.

Warning and regulatory signs made easy...

The biggest improvement is intelligent building of warning and regulatory signs – SignPlot sorts out the permitted sizes and the options for distance and other text if a plate is required under the sign. When you select a sign diagram, SignPlot displays only the heights permitted for that particular sign. If a plate is compulsory, the most common option will already be shown, with alternatives available on a pull-down list. Distances are dealt with intelligently, as is the ‘word wrap’ of text from one line to the next and any extra vertical spacing needed.  

...even in Wales

If you thought that was impressive, try switching on the bilingual option for Wales. All plate options, times, distances, etc. can be selected in English, with the plate magically appearing with the correct Welsh translation above (or, for a short time only, below) the English.

Sign Structures

SignLoad Professional has also been enhanced - both the one built into SignPlot and the stand-alone version. It has some new sign products and the option of snow loading, but the biggest change is the ability to configure the printout from within the software.  You can now add your logo and change what additional data is included from a simple dialogue.

SignPlot 3.25 and SignLoad Professional 3.25 are now ready to be downloaded from our User Area by those with current support contracts.
