In their own words
LED Wizard
LED Wizard 8 creates LED layouts for channel letters and cabinets from imported artwork. Its population workflow automates layout creation, while an artwork cleanup tool prepares imports and a freehand vector tool lets users draw shapes to populate with LEDs. Existing layouts can be scaled graphically or numerically in one step. For non-rectangular cabinets, Stik layouts support circles, ellipses, and cloud signs. The free Standard Edition includes auto layouts, title blocks with statistics, scaling, and a streamlined workflow. Production Edition adds channel letter return plots, a router layer, mounting-hole automation, and full-scale DXF export for $24.95 a month. Documentation is free; Basic Support is $24.95 a month, and Premium Support is $49.95 a month. Basic Support includes email and phone help, while Premium adds online expert sessions and ticket tracking. LED Wizard 8 is cloud based and requires internet access at launch and while running. It supports Windows 7, 8, and 10 on 64-bit systems, with web access also listed.
SignPlot
SignPlot is Windows software for designing traffic signs under TSRGD and the Traffic Signs Manual. It runs directly on Windows without CAD software and automates sign layout, spacing, and regulatory rules. Its generators create parking plates, regulatory signs, and supplementary plates, including permitted TSRGD variants. As a sign is defined, SignPlot displays a solid-colour preview, sizes and positions text and symbols, and checks spelling. It produces vector graphics for sign manufacture and supports many vector and raster export formats, including print-and-cut workflows. Welsh translation supports bilingual parking and other plates, while Scottish Gaelic is supported on directional signs. SignPlot integrates with Causeway SignLoad for structural design of supports and foundations. Causeway lists version 4.0 through a download form. Users receive additional resources through a secure login-only area and can use a support portal for download issues. Pricing is available on request.
