New features
Check the following video to get a quick overview of the extensive list of new features and enhancements that Autosign 2022.1 brings. Further details for each new feature can be found right below the video.
Tooltip for the Traffic signs palette
This new feature aims to provide more information about the traffic signs prior the selection for insertion. Users can see the name and a short description of each traffic sign before the selection, for it, users just need to place the pointer over a traffic sign and wait an instant for the info label to appear.
Additional design options for Parking Design
Parking Design tool brings a new option to add the line tips to the parking lots. This feature rounds up the possibilities for designing parking lots with Autosign.
Improved distribution of sign on Reports
Traffic signs which are placed on the same sign post are listed in disaggregated rows. Such option applies to Excel reports generation. In this way, reports display the traffic signs and their information in a more convenient way.
Smooth curved line markings on 3D
Line markings follow smoothly and accurately the polyline curvatures to which are assigned. This enhancement provides a substantial improvement in terms of 3D/BIM model representation.
Creation of 3D entities as single elements
Traffic signs and Road markings elements are now created as blocks by Autosign. The seamless representation of the sign/marking content as one object enables users to easily assign Property Set data to signs, manipulate object properties, export objects and more.
Multiple allocation of Property Sets
Autosign 2022.1 provides a major improvement in applying multiple Property Sets to DWG objects. Furthermore, significant UI and workflow changes have been introduced in order to facilitate Property Set parameters adding, editing or removing on single or multiple objects. “Property Set Editor” works best in combination with improved “Property Set Filter” functionality where user can select, isolate or hide object(s) in order to manipulate the data as needed.
