Sign Assembly Tab

Sign Assembly Settings Section

ID Number

Specify the desired number in the ID Number box.

Note: To have the software assign the next consecutive number to each new sign assembly, clear the Reuse Available Sign Assembly ID check box located in Program Settings' General - Plan Category.

Assembly Status

Select the desired status in the Assembly Status list.

Custom Notes 1 and 2

Allows you to add notes on the sign assembly.

Sign Support Section

Sign Support Type

Select the desired type in the Sign Support Type list. As you change the sign support type, the sign assembly symbol preview will update accordingly.

Mounting Type

Select the desired mounting type in the Mounting Type list.

Note: Mounting types will only be available if you select Single Post, Double Post, or Triple Post in the Sign Support Type list.

Base Elevation

When this check box is cleared, the elevation of the base of the 3D sign support is displayed.

When this check box is selected the elevation of the base of the 3D sign support can be specified.

Most Sign Support types use one elevation to set the base of each post. Span, TriChord Span, and Span+Cantilever types use two elevations to set the base of each post.

Sign Group Section

Location

Select the location for the sign group on the sign support(s) in the Location list.

Note: The contents of the Location list depend on the Sign Support Type.

Sign Facing

To specify the direction the sign is facing, click the desired angle value in the Sign Facing list.

Note:

• If there is only one sign group in the sign assembly, the Sign Facing option will be unavailable, and the sign facing angle will default to zero degrees. If you add one or more sign groups to the sign assembly, the second and any subsequent sign group can be set to other sign facing angles.
• By default, the Sign Facing option allows angles of 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Use the Additional Angles option to select angles in 30-degree intervals, i.e. 30, 60, etc., up to 330 degrees.
• The contents of the Sign Facing list depend on the Sign Support Type.
• For a sign group located on a post, you can specify the sign facing angle by typing the desired value in the Sign Facing box.

Vertical Clearance/Sign Height

Displays the distance from the bottom of the lowest sign in the sign group (or the bottom of the truss) to the XY Plane or surface.

Vertical Offset

For Span and Cantilever support types, this is the distance from the bottom of the sign group to the bottom of the truss.

Positive values raise the bottom of the sign group above the bottom of the truss while negative values lower the bottom of the sign group below the bottom of the truss. In the former case, the Vertical Clearance value will remain unchanged.

For Post support types, positive values do not affect the Vertical Clearance value while negative values decrease the Vertical Clearance value.

Local Insertion Scale Section

Displays the current sign support symbol and sign group insertion scale values specified in Program Settings -> General - Plan. To override the default values, type the desired values in the Sign Support Symbol and Sign Group boxes respectively.

Annotations Section

Select the desired Annotations Set in the list. This set of sign assembly and sign group annotations will be placed with the sign assembly in the drawing.

Click Edit Annotations Set to edit the selected user created annotations (set see Edit Annotations Set).

Click Program Settings to access more tools associated with annotations sets (see Program Settings -> Annotations - Plan).

Sign Support Symbol Preview

Displays a top view of the sign support symbol that will be drawn in the sign plan drawing to represent one or more sign groups.

Note: The sign support symbol is previewed with the sign facing at a zero (0) degree rotation angle in the Cartesian coordinate system.

Reference Line Section

Displays the reference line and offset reference geometry that the sign assembly was placed relative to.

Note: If the sign assembly was not placed relative to any reference line or offset reference geometry, the Reference Line section does not display.
