> View This Recording NowModernize the design and the process of placing sign assemblies in traffic signing plans. SIGMA utilizes supported federal and region-specific libraries together with user-generated content, enabling traffic and maintenance engineers to create, insert, and report on sign assemblies in a minimal amount of time.
DYNAMIC SIGN ASSEMBLY CREATION
With SIGMA, you can select different sign arrangement templates to work with or create your own custom arrangement for sign assembles and set mounting types (ground, overhead, structure), choose multiple sign groups, and denote assembly status. Each sign assembly is assigned an ID number and can include custom notes for reporting.
ADDITIONAL FEDERAL AND REGIONAL SIGNS
Additional sign libraries can be purchased to supplement your traffic sign planning projects. These high quality CAD sign libraries support full color, black & white filled, and outline display modes and come with all specified sign names, description, reference codes, standard sizing, and classification.
MANAGE REFERENCE LINES FOR PRECISE PLACEMENT
Place sign assemblies freely in your traffic plan drawing or in relation to a reference line. SIGMA supports simple geometry in base CAD platforms and stationing alignments in vertical CAD products (AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and GEOPAK®) for detailed positional reference of sign assemblies.
SET SIGN ASSEMBLY POSITION
Placed sign assemblies freely in your drawing or in relation to a reference line. Offset reference geometry representing elements such as the edge of pavement, median, or shoulder, can be selected and set as reference lines for placement of the sign assemblies at the required distance away from the roadway.
ADJUST SIGN GROUPS WITHIN THE DRAWING
Set the sign support symbol rotation to orient the sign facing direction to match the direction of oncoming traffic. You can also add a leader line between the sign group and sign support symbol. Sign groups can be also be selected and moved around within the assembly.
SIGN ASSEMBLY EDITING
Easily change the status of an existing sign assembly and sign sizing, or add, remove or switch signs and sign groups within the defined assembly. Placed sign assemblies in the drawing can also be updated with status (replace, existing, proposed, remove, relocate) for sign maintenance or new installations.
SUPPORT OF GUIDSIGN AND USER CREATED SIGN CONTENT
Work with your previously generated GuidSIGN or simple CAD drafted cell and block libraries. You can browse through your user-defined libraries and select signs for assembly design.
SIGN ASSEMBLY DISPLAY OPTIONS
Ensure a consistent visual display of placed sign assemblies in your traffic plan drawings. Each sign assembly status type (replace, existing, proposed, remove, relocate) can be placed on a unique level/layer and set with different color and line type.
SIGN ASSEMBLY REPORTING
SIGMA provides a flexible reporting solution allowing you to create signage reports based on your required parameters. Reports can be saved in a CSV format and imported into common spreadsheet applications.
