KeySIGN is an AutoCAD add-on, providing an easy to learn suite of tools focussed
on the design rules for direction signing. It is non-technical and simple to use
software. Signs can quickly be created with a ‘What you see is what you get’
approach.
With KeySIGN, the design guidance in the Traffic Signs Manual can be followed
effortlessly. The software is supplied with all the correct transport fonts,
standard symbols and a library of pre-designed signs. Many signs can also be
drawn using a dialog interface, to create designs automatically. Based on
professional, industry standard, CAD means that literally any map type sign
symbol can be created easily. KeySIGN also comes with a wide range of tools for
fine-tuning layouts, to ensure signs are aesthetically pleasing and clearly
readable.
KeySIGN is used throughout the UK by all the major sign designing authorities,
consultants and sign manufacturers. KeySIGN contains the ideal combination of
the design rules and flexibility to create every type of traffic sign quickly,
accurately and with great satisfaction. |

KeySIGN provides the means for manufacturers to automate the cutting of sign
face material; provides routines for ensuring suitable cut lines are chosen on
plank constructions and with the new KeyPOST add-on, provides options for the

KeySIGN provides for the holistic approach to sign and sign routing designs.
Ordnance Survey mapping can easily be brought into the CAD environment to show
in detail the proposed location for each sign to enable designers to think
‘Signing System’. Full coloured signs can be shown easily on the location plan. |
