TRANSOFT SOLUTIONS: GuidSIGN 5.1
March 3, 2011, Frost Engineering & Consulting’s technicians participated in hands-on software training provided by Transoft Solutions on their new release ‘GuidSIGN 5.1.’ The software, using simple ‘point and click’ technology, offers our clients optimal results creating highway and roadway signs while ensuring conformance with all MUTCD standards. “Using drag-and-drop objects, intelligent letter formatting and spacing, the latest FHWA Series fonts and MUTCD standards together with panel and object libraries – nothing could be easier to design signs in only minutes. ” -Transoft Solutions
“At Frost Engineering we use “GuidSIGN” software to generate standard and custom signs for projects that require signs developed to the M.U.T.C.D. 2003 edition standards. This advanced training session provided the tools to draw and dimension standard signs and develop custom signs. The one-on-one format of the class was beneficial – it was customized to exactly what we needed to perform. This included the ability to modify signs quickly, update their dimensions, and develop custom sign templates. Having the templates allows us to build a library of typical signs, which dramatically improves our speed with this software. The training ended with instructions on building custom content – this knowledge allows us to use the software in just about any application.
Overall the training, communication, and follow-up by Transoft Solutions was of the highest caliber, allowing us to put this training to use immediately in two ways. We are using the program in our detailed interstate signage projects, where the training has helped us detail the signs complete with dimensions and even cut sheets ready for the sign maker. We also use it to efficiently develop individual signs that are required for our transportation drawings.”
