not for each individual sign, just one page per style. In the case of amenity room signs or directional signs (where the content is likely to change drastically from signs to sign and should be approved) we do sometimes include a small preview of each sign but that would be under one main spec'd...

Have worked with the Cad Tools plug-in (my art director prefers this one) , I like Astute's Dynamic Tools a little better but we will probably be implementing one or the other across the board soon

Understood, at least for the actual hard data there doesn't seem a need to us AI so we're open to switching to a different program or pairing AI (for the sign layouts) with a different program (for the shops). Attached a few examples of what our complex shops and our simple proof shops look like...

WildWestDesigns Fair points. I think I should re-clarify that the dashboard/workflow thing was not my idea/project/I got no input in it's creation - The push to try to incorporate and use that for shop drawing data comes from my boss, not from myself. The dashboard is very helpful when...

Not sure I understand the first part response, we do keep everything in house and you mention that we are working too hard by venturing into xml but provide no real alternative or "data application" to work from as opposed to illustrator. Additionally virtually nothing we design (except maybe...

This is what the dashboard looks like from a user (designer in this case) standpoint (with company/client names concealed just to be safe) Thought it might be helpful

It's a webbased dashboard that allows PMs to set up a job (listing client info, due date, delivery ect) & task out roles to individual employees using "workflows" setup in excel. Our hope is to be able to use this platform to have the PM actually type in the materials/finishes/sizes and make...

We have used Sketchup a bit in the past (our CNC guy mostly uses if for BOM/3-D drawings) but the company owners haven't been interested in paying for the full version. Also, I'm not sure if it would be helpful for our needs specifically. The drawings our CNC guy does from sketchup tend to come...

Decided to use this kind of random little sign we made for valentine's day this year as my first sign post. Body is laser cut acrylic (1/4" + 3/8") assembled with threaded rods & bolts filled with candy hearts faces are removable so we might fill it with something else now that February is over.

Looking for suggestions on software for shop drawings. We currently use Illustrator almost exclusively, but this is not very practical as most of our designers' time is getting tied up in spec'ing details (sizing/finishes/ect) or laying out the actual pages, rather than designing signs. We are a...
