We have been doing large format work for many years but are doing more exterior signage and need something to prepare the drawings to show customers as well as present for permits.
We have regular design software, Illustrator, etc as well as Onyx, but we need something to do the drawings and scaling measurements, etc.
What are you using?
Thanks

I use CADTools, an Illustrator plug-in to do all my CAD drawings, it allows you to draw scale drawings in Illustrator.

Below is a PDF example of a new garage/media room drawing I did for a friend, using the CADTools plug-in with Illustrator.

I use Corel draw and it has design capabilities and it has a dimensioning tool. I can measure and dimension all drawings with just a click or two. IT is my "regular "design software.
