Introduction:  The instructions and video below show how to copy/paste signs between sign files and standards in OpenRoads SignCAD.

Step 1: In OpenRoads SignCAD, open an existing file that has the sign(s) you want to copy/paste into another sign file.

 

Step 2: Create a new file or open an existing file to copy/paste the sign(s) into.

Step 3:  Check the Panels>Panel Selection box. Pick the Element Selection tool and window select the sign(s) you want to copy/paste. Pick Panels>Copy.
