How it works
From room list to cut files.

Questions.
What is Grade 2 braille, and do ADA signs need it?
Grade 2 is contracted braille, where common letter groups and words have short forms. The 2010 ADA Standards call for contracted (Grade 2) braille on tactile signs for permanent rooms and spaces.
Does SignAcctPro make the sign ADA compliant?
It designs the sign to ADA guidelines for raised characters and braille. Whether an installed sign passes depends on materials, contrast, finish, mounting height and location, and on your local code, so no software can promise compliance.
Which machines can use the cut files?
The files are standard SVG and DXF, which most CNC routers, engravers and laser software can open. Check what your own machine software imports.
Is this only for shops in the United States?
The layouts follow US ADA guidelines. The braille translation tool is useful anywhere English braille is used, but other countries have their own accessibility rules for signs.
