This feature is not available in GuideSIGN SIGMA.

Allows you to create a new guide sign or street name sign based on a previously saved template. You can use both templates supplied with the software and the ones that you or other users of the software have created (see Using Sign Creation Features -> Creating Sign Templates and Create Template from Sign).

The multi-sign creation functionality allows you to create multiple street name signs from the same template. The comma delimited list of the text elements is saved to a .csv file which can be edited in any text or spreadsheet editor (e.g. Microsoft® Notepad or Microsoft® Excel) and saved for future use. You can also save your multi-sign projects to use them when necessary.
