USA - Field Template has announced the availability of SoftSymbols Version 3, a significant overhaul and expansion to the award-winning VectorWorks-based symbol library. In addition to another 800 symbols, it ships with DataConvert Macros, allowing the entire software package to be converted from Imperial scale to Metric scale and back again.

Field Template's SoftSymbols is a CAD-based lighting symbol package that uses symbols designed by Steven Shelley, based on the patented icons used to create his award-winning series of Field Templates.

Shelley reports: "We have added the entire Rosco, Gam, Diversitronics, Reich & Vogel, CCT, and Robe product lines, as well as updated the latest from Coemar, Martin, Selador, Selecon, and the City Theatrical libraries. We have also added the beloved archive product lines from Strand and Berkey Colortran."

The 2D Drafting Elements, Shelley's Section Collect ion, and Shelley's Scales have also been expanded, and all 41 libraries have been reviewed and updated using the new SoftGauntlet Data-Filtering System. SoftSymbols Version 3 ships with fresh SoftMaps, allowing the complete package to printed onto six D-sized reference drawings.
