Custom Signs

If the default signs within 1Streetworks don't meet the signage needs, Custom Signs can be created as required. This is done while editing a plan, and the signs can be used while Editing Plans or adding Diversions.

Begin creating a sign by clicking the Add Custom Sign button in the Signs tab.

Each custom sign requires a unique Name but the Reference field is optional.

Once created the custom sign can be added as a feature in the Plan tab or in the Diversion tab.

Editing a Custom Sign

Each custom sign can be updated in the editor, starting from the same base design.

After placing an element it can be adjusted in size by selecting it and pulling on the green nodes that outline it.

Guide lines appear when placing objects, for help centring elements over others. There is a light "snapping" effect to help with placement.

Selecting multiple elements together fully, temporarily groups them, allowing you to move them as though they were a single object. This also allows the grouping to be moved forward and backward within the editor.
